Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández used Wednesday's press conference ahead of the 36th and penultimate matchday of La Liga, against Almería, to address the situation of João Félix.

The Portuguese international, who is on loan from Atlético de Madrid until the end of the current season, has not been a regular starter for over a month, and in the last match, against Real Sociedad (a 2-0 win), he did not even come off the bench. However, the Spanish coach says he has no doubts about his qualities.

"João has helped us a lot. His numbers are very good, but he has competition. Now, Raphinha is playing in his position, and he is at a great level," he began by saying, referring to the situation of the forward who came through the ranks at Benfica.

"We have Robert [Lewandowski] playing as a striker, we have Lamine [Yamal], who is one of the players who has played the most recently... This year, they are at a very good level, so the same goes for João, for Ferran [Torres]...," he continued.

"It is the competition between three players who are at a good level, with good numbers. João has been important, and he has to be, until the end of the season," he added.
