Xavi: "We lacked intensity"

Barcelona midfielder Xavi has admitted that they "lacked intensity" in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with AC Milan in the Champions League.

Lionel Messi cancelled out Robinho's eighth-minute opening goal, and the Spain international said that they paid for a sluggish start to the game.

"We were bad in the first few minutes, we lacked intensity," Xavi told reporters.

"After that I thought we dominated and created some good chances.

"We just couldn't finish them off though."

Meanwhile, Barca coach Gerardo Martino felt that his side deserved to win.
