Yes, Xavi must prove his capacity as a coach by giving the main title to Barcelona. But it looks like this season is really very relieved with his team. This season he has successfully won the Spanish Super Cup by beating Real Madrid in the final. .......

At least, he has brought much better things to Barcelona, compared to Barcelona's bad performance in the previous era before Xavi came. They were really bad, as bad as it was. And we also saw how difficult and struggling Xavi is in building again the club, developing and then achieving this stage, it really needs a very big effort. Although Xavi, of course, feels so disappointed because of its failure in UCL and UEFA League.
And for Real Madrid, yeah, they must focus more on the Champions League UCL, because it seems to be impossible to take over Barcelona in the first standing in La Liga. The point has differed so much.
Madrid is still having copa del rey. Even though madrid was losing in aggregate against barcelona and it seems possible for madrid to beat barcelona in camp nou. This gonna be a huge challenge for real madrid how to beat barcelona in the next el classico.
Oh yeah, Real Madrid still has the chance also in Copa del Rey.
Actually it is very unfortunate because they lost at their own cage. But if you want to learn from the defeat of the last El Classico match, Madrid must have much better tactics and performance. moreover they will play at home to Barcelona, this is a challenge in itself. Their recent defeat at El Classico could be a lesson learned, it will then be another tense match to determine who will advance to the final. Both have high motivation respectively.
