Barcelona coach Xavi admits they need to buy in January after losing the Maradona Cup to Boca Juniors.
After the penalty shootout defeat, Xavi says buying is a must.
"Everything said now is hypothetical," Xavi said.
"Barcelona have to be aware of the market and it's true that we need reinforcements, but we'll see what happens."
The coach didn't appear troubled by the result and was instead keen to focus on the positives.
"The result is the least of it," Xavi said.
"We saw positives like Dani Alves' re-debut and the performances of the youngsters.
"We tried to change the position of a few players and I think it was a good test, a positive test. The youngsters showed their character."
