There was a loss for Xavi because he got 2 yellow cards against Atlhetico Madrid. This allowed Xavi to miss 3 matches. Against Las Palmas, Cadiz and Real Madrid. A disadvantage, because at the moment Barcelona is in improved form. They haven't lost after playing Villareal.
What happen to Barcelona this season? Really a surprise to see them not able to maintain the credible moves of last season when they lifted the La Liga title. The current form of Barcelona is in doubt, even the supporters doesn't have believe for the club, they can't meet up the firing performance of Real Madrid this season, underperfoming actions whenever they meet Los Blancos who are absolutely striving for great results.
Barcelona will continue to figure out solid path for winning because this season gave been a terrible one for them more specifically in La Liga matches. What are you pointing out? Xavi Hernandez will always climbed the edge of his team despite his absence towards upcoming matches. Xavi Hernandez issued a red card by the referee and this is bad news for the team, the players will guided by the assistant coaches, atleast they sits in position to provide aides for the progress of the club.
Xavi protested too loudly to the referee and in the end he was sent off in last week's match. I hope that Barcelona will not experience problems when Xavi is not accompanied and the assistant coach is expected to be able to do his temporary job well. It's not easy when the competition is getting tougher, especially with Girona, Barcelona has to face this and I'm pretty sure it won't be a problem. The important thing is that team unity does not decrease and that is what they must maintain.
