coach Xavi compared

to Barcelona legend

and also praised Ousmane Dembele.

Last night, Barcelona played against Athletic Bilbao and was able to defeat the opponent with a result of 4-0 and gain 3 points in the game.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his fourth goal in the last two La Liga games, followed by Luuk de Jong , Ousmane Dembele and Memphis Depay goals for Barcelona. Dembele, who came on as a substitute, scored one goal and provided two assists to become the first La Liga player in the 21st century to come on as a substitute and play a part in at least three goals. After the game, Xavi, who was satisfied with his team's performance, praised the players.

How [Pedri] understands the game, it's wonderful to watch him play.

He reminds me a lot of Andres Iniesta, I haven't seen many talents like that.

"I see many scenarios for Dembele, we have seen the Dembele that we want and know he is capable of doing."

The Blaugrana coach added:

"The feelings are getting better and better. The team is training very well, that's why the results come.

"We have worked very well and it has paid off against a team that has a very good middle and low block and that defended very well.

"Even with the [seven] changes they made, they are a strong team. Putting four goals past Athletic is not easy at all, Marcelino's teams are always very hard-working and difficult.

"We're fourth, we'll go for third, then second and if it reaches us we'll go for first. You have to be realistic and humble and keep working day by day, nothing more."
