It has been a difficult couple of months for Barcelona. Things had looked up after their excellent performance against Atletico Madrid at the start of December, but that good feeling was ruined on Sunday as Girona picked up a 4-2 victory at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, a result that leaves the Blaugrana seven points off the top of the La Liga table.
Barcelona will look to return to winning ways against Royal Antwerp on Wednesday, and ahead of that match, head coach Xavi Hernandez admitted to the media (via MD) that his players were very angry after Sunday’s match, as they felt they were deserving of the three points.
“From the inside I see the players angry because we were better than Girona and we ended up losing a game that we could win, as happened with Real Madrid. There was a lack of forcefulness.”
After Sunday’s defeat, Xavi has given his Donald Trump-esque assessment of where his squad stands, compared to the Barcelona squads of the 2010s that were steamrolling La Liga and Europe.
“We are halfway to making Barcelona great again. That’s how I feel.”
There’s no doubt that work needs to be done at Barcelona. The winter break is only three matches away, and it will be coming at a good time for Xavi and his squad.
Oh but the similarities doesnt stop with the making great again statement.
Afaik, ol’ Donald is looking forward to being prosecuted by a judge- so is bribELona!
LMFAOOOO 🫵😆
I keep saying its was a big mistaken giving Xavi barca from the beginning and that Spanish’s selfish ideas is hurting barca now imagine Xavi always putting yamal ahead of raphina and Lewandowski who is very old he cant run, lewan is a minus to any team in defensive aspect, time will surely came very soon Xavi should resigned or got sack for sure,
sure you might be right
we are no longer strong as before
