Joao Cancelo was not present in Barcelona's victory over Atletico Madrid (3-0) This Sunday. Initially it was thought that the Portuguese international would be excluded from Xavi's squad due to injury, but the Spanish press eventually revealed that his absence was due to a personal problem. At the end of the match, Xavi praised the player with full of praise. “Joao Cancelo is a very sensitive boy, an extraordinary person with a very big heart. He was very emotional not being able to be with the team today. That's why Firmin dedicated the win to him. He wants to play, he wants to play.” “He has tremendous commitment and dedication,” the Blaugrana coach said in the post-match press conference. “We dedicate this victory to Cancelo and to everyone who could not be here.”
