Barcelona seem to be the most trustworthy team in the league currently. They are better against smaller teams comparing to Real Madrid. We have all witnessed that shocking point loss of Real Madrid against Mallorca indeed.
Their consistency in developing and increasing their performance this season is much better than other clubs, moreover in the big clubs in La Liga. Xavi can really manage their squad much better and well-prepared this season, moreover, after some great players were added during the market transfer. The spending for the new players is really worthwhile moreover because they are in the top standing in La Liga with a good gap of the point with their first rival, Real Madrid. Although they have failed in the European Champions League, at least, they can maximize their performance to get trophies in La Liga and also European League.
So many blames gone to him before but xavi was slowly proving if building a good team will take the time. I remember when so many medio has been publishing him as the worst coach in barcelona. Being kicked from UCL has become a very bad achievement by xavi again. It can't be denied. Europa league is not as good as ucl. La liga and europa league have become the main target by xavi but it seems like that xavi is much more concentrating into the la liga rather than europa league.
There is also remaining trophy that can be winning by barcelona and it's copa del rey. Barcelona will be facing real madrid in copa del rey.
Xavi was never considered bad when he first became a Barcelona coach, but over time Xavi was able to prove that he was able to move the steering wheel of Barcelona to this day. When talking about the Champions League, maybe Xavi will be a little disappointed and have to be willing to go down to the Europa League, but that's not something to grieve every day and with Barcelona, of course he has the same target to reach the Champions League in the following season.
Now Xavi has to really focus on the remaining competitions and if he can bring Barcelona to win Laliga this season that is a very fantastic achievement. For the copa del rey they definitely want to win this trophy, especially since their opponent is eternal rival Real Madrid who is currently in a bad condition and that can be put to good use for barcelona to win the semi-final match later.
