Xavi on Betis win: 'We played one of our best games this season'

"I'm very happy with the game. We controlled till the end and we knew how to dominate the midfield," Xavi said after the game.

"I think we played one of our best games of the season today.

"We have improved a lot compared to the game against Girona. We played a brilliant game."

"We created many chances and played one of our best performances especially because we were at a very difficult stadium," Xavi added.

Halfway through the season, Barcelona have amassed 50 points and are 8 points clear at the top of La Liga.

Barca dominated the game at Betis despite the physicality and the hostile environment. The 2-1 win was well-deserved for the Blaugrana.
