Xavi Hernández, Barcelona coach, speaking about the game against Shakhtar:

"I think Shakhtar really complicated this match for us. They competed for the ball, they wanted to match us – they were good in technical terms. We made a couple of errors but in general I'm happy with the quality of our play. I really think we could have won more comprehensively."

"I'm thrilled with Fermín López in general. He's a valuable guy to us. He'll be in this Barcelona team for years, and I don't say that lightly. He's mentally prepared, he's having a good season, he's got a terrific shot from distance. I'm happy with him and happy for him."
