Xavi cannot be blamed for Barcelona's defeat. Barcelona's squad is very weak and inexperienced compared to other title-seeking squads. We can't expect much from such a team. Xavi has taken charge of the team. He will now stabilize the team somewhat. Fix their gameplay and strategy. Then next season if Barcelona can take some star players in the team then maybe they can be strong. I don't expect much from this team until new players are added.
Agree with you. Barcelona lost the first match in the same way against Bayern when Koeman was the coach. Barcelona is a broken team now, only coach can't fix the team lineup and performance. They need some good players in their squad. They are also having bad journey in LaLiga. Maybe Barcelona won't be able to qualify for next UCL season. They should bring some good players during the upcoming transfer window.
I think Barcelona's focus this year is not on being champions, although many people say no. xavi's arrival to Barcelona had to start from zero again. as strong as very weak star players go. I really blame Koeman for letting star players go, for example, Suarez, even though he's old, is no less great at scoring goals. With the rest of the season Xavi should improve his playing technique, Barcelona's signature tika-taka style of play.
