Against Villarreal, Xavi made five changes to the starting lineup compared to those who started against Real Madrid. “We take turns because the team has to be one hundred percent to press high and because the defensive line has to be at its maximum limit to run when we leave spaces behind. I don’t make changes to point fingers at anyone”, the Barcelona coach wanted to clarify.
