Barcelona coach Xavi was left frustrated after their 1-0 win against Getafe.

Pedri scored the only goal of the game as Barça maintained their three point lead at the top of the table despite hitting top form.

"I don't think we played well, we were off our game," Xavi said. "We did not attack well. We did defend well. It is hard to attack against such a low block.

"We have to improve. But it was a really important win. We kept a clean sheet. We were good without the ball, but we didn't create enough. You could feel the mental tiredness from the Supercopa. It's three points without playing well."

With Robert Lewandowski suspended, Ansu Fati started, but he could not follow up his midweek Copa del Rey goal with another striker.

"He worked hard but didn't have a lot of chances because of how Getafe defended," Xavi added. "He helped us in defence."
