In response to a question regarding Barcelona’s dismal record in Munich during a news conference on Monday, Xavi said, “I wouldn’t say it’s a house of horror, it’s Bayern Munich.
I’ve had both positive and negative experiences with them, winning and losing. I am aware that recent results have not been good, but football has its ups and downs.
“Yes, we have never had success here, which demonstrates how difficult this week’s contest will be. However, we are in good shape and eager for Tuesday.
