qualifying Barcelona alone for champions league ticket next season is enough achievement.

Ordinarily and in a normal circumstance, it definitely isn't enough for a club of Barcelona's level and history, but when you look back at how bad Barcelona were in a couple of months back, and the position in which they occupied then prior to the coming of Xavi, then it is correct to say that what he has done thus far is enough, pushing Barcelona up to 2nd position in the league, and having qualified for the CL next season, it is a success in every stretch of the word.

But having said that, if the Barcelona hierarchy do their transfer business pretty well after the end of this season, then they will be expecting a bit more from Xavi next season, they would expect him to challenge for major trophies and maybe win something, but until then, Xavi deserves an awful amount of credit for what he is doing now.
