"It was a game to win. When we were at our best we were able to make it 2-0," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after their draw with Espanyol.
 
"In the end, when the score was 2-1, it seems like you won a point, but analysing it I think it was ours to win. "We dominated well and we had more chances. We lost two points. 
 
"We've been in Espanyol's half the whole game. They've come two or three times and they've been very effective. The other day we were and that pays off."
