Xavi's team got a big morale boost with the win on Saturday
Barcelona's La Liga win against Getafe on Saturday night was a big one for Xavi and his team. Not only did they secure three crucial points, but they also scored four goals against their opponents, which was a morale-booster for the group.
In addition, four different players managed to score during the match, all of whom had been struggling to score for some time. One of them was the Portuguese forward Joao Felix, who scored the match's second goal. However, he had to leave the pitch after an hour because he had just returned from an injury and was not yet 100% fit. After the game, Felix spoke to the media and acknowledged his physical condition.
"It has been my first start after the injury, and there are still some things that don't come naturally to me, but with more games, they will come, and I will contribute more to the team."
Although it won't be easy for Felix to remain in the starting eleven, he believes the competition for a starting spot will bring out the best in him.
"Competition is very good because it brings out the best in us. I try to do my best for my benefit and the club's."
The win brought Barcelona to second place in La Liga, but Girona still have a match to play so that the situation may change. Felix thinks the pressure on Girona will benefit them, as they will play knowing they are in third place. He also believes that the win is suitable for their confidence.

Felix knows that he is not yet at his best level and will need some games to get back to his best. With the season-ending, he needs to start showing his best level soon. Barcelona has yet to decide whether they will continue to push for his retention beyond this season.
