• Xavi wants an improved performance from Barcelona as they challenge for three trophies
• Barcelona lead La Liga and are still in contention in the Europa League and the Copa del Rey
• Pedri scored the only goal of the game as Barcelona beat Getafe, but Xavi was not impressed

Barcelona continues to lead the way in La Liga, but coach Xavi is not happy with how his team is playing.

La Blaugrana's manager was reacting to the side's recent 1-0 victory over Getafe.

As noted by ESPN, Pedri grabbed the only goal of the game, as Barca kept a clean sheet and maintained their lead over Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

Los Blancos are still three points behind their bitter rivals.

Despite the victory, Xavi described the side's performance as being too slow and tedious for his liking, Goal reported.

“I have to be very honest, we were not good at all. We need to minimise our poor matches like these ones," he said.

Xavi admitted that the team had played better for much of the season, but needed to work on these poor games if they were to challenge on multiple fronts this season.

Barcelona are still in the UEFA Europa League and have a date with Manchester United next in that competition.

They are also in the running for the Copa del Rey glory. Barca's next game in the competition is against Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals of the cup on Wednesday, January 25.

Having already wrapped up the Spanish Supercopa title, Xavi will be looking to bring more trophies back to Camp Nou.
