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.
I think it was mainly because of the UCL thing, everyone expected them to beat Inter and they failed to do it, which caused a lot of trouble for him and there were a lot of people who was looking for him to be even fired. They improved drastically since that day and they have been much better and not only took the lead of the league, but also improved the amount of points they lead by as well.
This shows that they will be pretty good when the europa games starts as well, their only downfall is that they are going to play United, a great team of their own, so if they lose that shouldn't be a shock but at the same time he will be blamed for it anyway.
