don`t be too hard on Xavi, he went the extra mile. He was playing in a group full of big teams and couldn`t do better than he did. Xavi got many things wrong, I agree with you. It must be understood that it was also the first year.
Barcelona was in the group of hell last season where Bayern Munich, Inter Milan are the two teams that really have good preparedness from their squad. Barcelona, which appeared with many young players, was still not good enough to face pressure, they even appeared with an incomplete squad due to several injuries. This season should be different as Barcelona seem ready to take on the Champions League challenge despite their failures last season.
Xavi usually focuses on younger players and this can make Barcelona have more potential than other teams, On the other hand, Inter Milan was the team playing in the final game of the last Champions League. there is a chance for us to see a miracle and one strong team lose this tournament earlier than they could expect to see.
