Video: FC Barcelona showed is 'alive', says Xavi Hernandez

Barcelona have been the target of criticism for several years after suffering embarrassing defeats and comebacks in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, such as the famous 8-2 thrashing by Bayern Munich, or the comebacks they suffered both in Rome and at Anfield.

On all those occasions there was one thing in common: when the Catalan giants were on the ropes they did not know how to react and ended up being eliminated in a harsh manner. However, it seems that with the recent work done since the arrival of Xavi Hernandez this Barcelona side has matured.

The 'Cules' looked set to suffer another painful defeat when they saw their one goal lead evaporate after PSG scored two goals in just two minutes. However, the Catalan side fought tooth and nail to come from behind and leave Paris with a very good result ahead of the second leg, something that showed the team is "alive", according to Xavi Hernandez. Take a look at what he had to say.
