Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez, has said his team’s mistakes cost them in the 3-2 defeat to Real Madrid on Sunday.

Xavi’s men took an early lead through Andreas Christensen’s header, before Vinicius Jr made it 1-1 from the penalty spot.

Barça took the lead again with 20 minutes left through substitute Fermín López.

Vázquez drew Madrid level for a second time, before Jude Bellingham’s late winner opened an 11-point gap between the two LaLiga rivals.

“Normally, based on how the game went, we win. We deserved the victory. We created more and defended well. We controlled the game.”
