Barcelona will keep pushing till they get the best results. The club advances in every round except the UEFA Champions League, which is their subsequent priority. Xavi Hernandez is the best thing that has happened to the blaugrana in recent years. The club was an utter shambles left by Ronald Koeman, who brought streak losses to the team, and they had no single hope of survival, instead pushing and battling to win a game. That didn't happen until the president, Joan Laporta, fired him and named Xavi Hernandez as a prospective replacement. Since then, everything at Camp Nou has improved.
You know a lot about Barcelona's situation with previous coaches, so of course you can really compare him to Xavi. Since Xavi signed a contract with Barcelona, then from that moment I started to believe he could bring Barcelona to a different level. He is a former player who has Barcelona DNA and understands the philosophy of the game, but even if he needs time to adjust he will surely find success with Barcelona.
Next season Xavi really hopes Barcelona can triumph in the Champions League. That is the target that Barcelona hopes for the most, but with the current composition of players, I believe that Barcelona will still have difficulty reaching the final. It took 2-3 seasons for Barcelona to make their young players very experienced and have a winning mentality, but not underestimate their speed of development.
Despite their limited resources in signing high quality players since he took the managerial position at Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez has done well to improve the club's performance over the years and doesn't show any sign of slowing down their improvement anytime soon.
The winning mentality he's inculcated into the young lads at Barcelona is a clear representation of the positive effects of having him as their manager. They might not win the UEFA Champions League competition next season but with their growth rate, they might be winning it in the next few seasons
