Barcelona coach Xavi says Bryan Zaragoza's performance for Granada didn't surprise him yesterday.

Bryan scored in the 2-2 draw and was later named in Spain's squad by coach Luis de la Fuente.

Xavi said: "The first goal is our mistake, in construction. The motto was to play head-on, but at the first time we conceded the goal. It affected us. But the team felt good afterwards. Good game in terms of play but not in result.

"Bryan didn't surprise me. We analysed him and we knew he was a bullet and that they were going to rely on him.

"The first goal was our mistake, the second was Granada's success. We cannot stop at the result. The other day, in Porto, you said no We played well today."
