Guerra: "This game is a reminder that we can compete against anybody"

The midfielder reviews the win over FC Barcelona

Javi Guerra reflected on the 3-1 win against FC Barcelona that closed the 2025/26 LaLiga season.

The final place in the table

“It’s a bittersweet feeling. We did everything that was in our hands. The luck with other results wasn’t in our hands. This game should serve as a reminder that we can compete against anyone.”

Competing against big clubs

"I don't know if it's the best game we've had or not, but we showed that we can compete against Barça as long as we give our all on the pitch and fight for the team."

The reaction in 2026

“The team’s reaction has been good in the second half of the season, but the first half wasn’t what we all hoped to do. We have to take the positives away and approach next season well.”

The World Cup

“I believe I’ve done everything within my power. It’s clear that the level of the national team is very high. It’s been a childhood dream to play for Spain, and if the call comes, I’ll be delighted and proud to represent my country.”
