Xavi Hernandez lamented Barcelona's goalless draw with Getafe on Saturday. "It's a step back for us."
La Blaugrana fell four points behind Real Madrid atop La Liga this weekend, as their stalemate coincided with Los Blancos' victory at Almeria, and the midfielder could not hide his disappointment after the match at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
"The draw was a negative result, but the team came here with a positive dynamic and followed it through. There is much competition, but it's a step back for us," he admitted to reporters.
"It was a game that we'd usually win, but if you don't open the can then it becomes difficult. Defensively they were very strong. We had four good chances but failed to take advantage of them.
"It depends on what the Coach wants, but we can adapt to one system or another. We feel good in both [systems]. The team put together a lot of attacks, but the ball didn't want to go in today."
