Barcelona's last two eliminations from the Champions League have been excruciating for supporters, yet Xavi Hernandez believes that the competition mustn't become an obsession for his former club.
Lionel Messi issued a rally call to supporters in the build-up to the 2018/19 season but Los Cules were ultimately eliminated by Liverpool, despite the Catalan giants holding a 3-0 advantage from the first leg.
"I don't think the Champions League should be an obsession for Barcelona," Xavi explained in an interview with MARCA.
"It should simply be seen as a challenge, a goal, but nothing more than that.
"If you obsess over something then it actually becomes counterproductive."
