If we avoid issues and injuries, I will be delighted, as we’re playing very well."Xavi added:“I’m happy with the team I have. In the summer we signed a lot of players, and we have a very competitive team to face all the competitions that remain this season.”Barca faces Real Betis in the semi-finals of the Supercopa de Espana in their next game.
