Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez, has said the Catalan outfit is the “most difficult club in the world”.
According to Xavi, this is because of the demands on his team to win while playing good football.
Barca host Frankfurt in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final on Thursday after a 1-1 draw in Germany last week.
Xavi, who has taken the LaLiga side from ninth to second in the league since replacing Ronald Koeman in November, has warned his players that a scrappy win is never enough, even if it does seal a place in the last four.
“We are obliged to win and play well. This is Barca. A 1-0 in the 90th minute is not enough, we know this.
“For those that know the club, it’s about excellence in everything we do. That’s why this is the most difficult club in the world. There is no comparison. There is no other club in the world like this, [with that] demand to win playing well. It is very difficult,” Xavi said in a news conference on Wednesday.
