Xavi names the only positive from Athletic draw

"The only positive [from the Athletic draw] is that we have defended well," Xavi has told the media.

Indeed, this was a surprisingly solid outing from Barca's back four – even Joao Cancelo contributed much at the back without forgetting about his creative duties. The other three players to impress were Pau Cubarsi, Jules Kounde and Ronald Araujo.

Athletic Club only generated an xG [expected goals] of 0.33 and attempted two shots on target that didn't carry much threat.

Barcelona have shared the spoils with Ernesto Valverde's side, 0-0.
