Barcelona withdrew from the Europa League on Thursday night following a disappointing second-half defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Robert Lewandowski gave the Blaugrana a well-deserved lead in the first half but second-half goals from Fred and Antony secured a place in the last 16 of the tournament for the Premier League giants.
The first came less than 90 seconds into the second half, and Barcelona were clearly concussion after that and never seemed to recover. Speaking after the game, Xavi Hernandez admitted the Brazilian's goal affected his team.
“This first goal hurt us. The duels cost us in the second half. They have higher intensity. We mastered it in the first half. The draw was very even and we had some great moments throughout the game. (Manchester United) are in great form, but this is a huge disappointment for us. That's a shame."
Man Utd have two former Real Madrid stars playing, Raphael Varane and Casemiro, and Xavi said he congratulated both players after the final whistle at Old Trafford.
"I spoke to Casemiro and Varane. I respect United and congratulate them."
Barcelona must now focus exclusively on domestic affairs as they look to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey for the remainder of the season.
