Barcelona head coach Javi Hernandez expressed his joy over the 3-0 victory over Sevilla in the fourth round of La Liga.

After the match, Xavi said: “It’s too early to talk about some things and we have to be humble.”

And about Lewandowski’s genius, he said: “It’s not just about scoring goals, but also about passing, controlling them and making decisions. He is a great player and leader who is very helpful and humble.”

He continued: “It’s important to keep a clean slate, it gives us security and Ter Stegen was great today, we have a lot of positives and not everyone wins here in this stadium.”

He continued: “We did not expect Lopetegui to play in a 1-4-4-2 formation. Pedri, Gavi and Busquets did very well and we should be happy with what we did.”

He concluded: “I’m not surprised by Gavi’s performance. He trains the same every day and he has discipline. He was the best player of the match because of his strength, struggle, passing and high pressure.”
