Xavi Hernández' press conference ahead of Champions League game against Porto. 

 

"This year we have more experience. There are players who have won titles now, and we have strengthened ourselves well. We are excited about this competition."

 

"Porto like to have the ball, but they know how to close things well in defence. We have analysed them well and tomorrow we will compete in the best way to win the game."

 

"Fermín is a surprise, for all of us."

 

"I talk a lot with Lewandowski. He is an involved footballer and it's true that last year we did not know how to compete well in the Champions League. Now we have to do it to at least reach the round of 16."

 

"João is happy, he is content and has adapted very well. He is working very well, committed to the team."

 

"We have experienced players and other very young ones, like Balde, Gavi and Lamine. This mix makes the team flow."

 

"I hope Lamine marks an era, but we are not doing him a favor by talking about that and comparisons with Messi."
