Carlo Ancelotti has again praised Xavi Hernandes.

The coach of Real, who could hardly secure the qualification to the final of the Spanish Super Cup, after triumphing 3-2 after 120 minutes of play – believes that Barça is back with Xavi on the bench.

“They played well. They are improving as a team and today used players who have just returned from injury like Pedri, Torres and Ansu. Xavi is doing a fantastic job and the team will improve,” said Ancelotti.
