I'd say winning the league in your first, full season is quite good. Brought out the best of players like Araujo and Balde, and is performing a rebuild that has been needed for years.

For me, Xavi has done an amazing job for Barcelona. The club was in a difficult financial position and had on the field issues and yes they're a historical club but the moves they've been able to make have been impressive considering the restrictions they had and you weren't sure if you were gonna register these players yet came to Barcelona with a wage cut and have done a good job in clearing out the deadwood. Last season, he guided Barcelona to their first La Liga title since 2019 and they showed a team that's heading in the right direction as they boasted the best defensive record in the top 5 leagues and used mostly young players and the experience of the veterans were also crucial and were a team that was able to grind out results when they weren't at their best. That's a critical skill and that's what every championship team needs determination and grit to find a way to win games no matter what and that also shows hunger. In the last 2 seasons Barcelona have crashed out of the champions league group stages and have failed to win the Europa League and they still have issues against tougher opposition in big games and they have to work on it. So far this season, despite injuries and they haven't always been in top form, Barcelona has yet to lose a single game in La Liga and the champions league, in Europe the draw was absolutely kind to them and since they boast a lot of quality in their team and can get better when everyone's fit, they'll have a deep run in this competition. I give Xavi an 8/10 for the way he guided Barcelona to a league title last season also a Supercopa trophy, he has steadied the ship with the signings they've been able to make and their defense upgraded they went from Firpo Lenglet Umtiti and Dest to now having one of the best defenses in Europe with Balde Araujo Cancelo Christensen and Kounde and they have a world class keeper in Ter Stegen top class midfielders in Pedri Gavi De Jong Gundogan and one of the best number 9s in the world in Lewandowski and he's the right manager for Barcelona and he's done a good job they just have to actually have a deep champions league run this season because I think this team is capable of getting to the quarters or semis depending on if the fitness of their key players permits.
I think you are confusing Xavi and Joan Laporta/Alemany. Xavi has not done an amazing job at Barca. For me he gets a 6 (almost average) for the way he guided us to La liga. We played good games in the league last season and we played horrible last seasons. There are many times last season where Xavi was too stuborn, too bent on using Dembele, and Lewandowski than giving others a chance for the many games in which they were bad. As it relates to his overall management since 2021 I give him 6.5 rating. He got knocked put of Ucl group stage and out of the Europe League 2 years consecutively. He has proved to be a very stuborn coach. A coach who is willing to put the team at risk for his own pride. He has failed to pick out top talents and develop them and then he absolutely destroyed Pablo Torre. He also losed 4-0 to p*uta Madrid. But I pray and hope Xavi wil get better cz he has gotten the contract.
The club is still in a difficult position and while he won the league he also got them kicked out of Champions League and Europa League twice over.. Also winning La Liga is great but there is really two clubs that win it 95% of the time anyway.
He's doing great.The man has no experience whatsoever .. He had old players and bang average players in his first season..Even tho he's got the La Masia kids and veterans like Lewy and Gundo, he still has little quality in Squad depth No one could have taken Barca to where we are now
"We did with an injured squad" What injured squad ? Only 3 different players from the 5-0 win against Antwerp ... [Frenkie, Raphinha, Christensen]. Barca fans are touting ... - Yamal is better than Raphinha .... (no missing key injury player) - Oriol is a better DM than Frenkie ... they insisted Frenkie is not a lone DM (no missing key injury player) - [Kounde, Araujo] is better than [Christesen, Kounde] ... (better CB pair)
@@Novice-bn1xu This is reductive. Antwerp at home is when Xavi could rotate and he did. Doesn't mean we have a full squad. Araujo is not fully fit. Pedri, FDJ, Raphinha (all very key players) are injured. Lewandowski went off in the first 30mins. Also, if some idiot thinks Yamal is better than Raphinha doesn't mean he is. He's 16 lol. He is talented but he's physically or mentally ready for a starting role consistently. Did they play well against Porto? No. But we got 3 points. Did we deserve to lose against Bayern and Inter last season? No, but we move on.
He's doing well under the circumstances. Still needs to do way better in Europe, but the fact that we can win in multiple different ways is a positive.
He's definitely one of the best so far. Since his arrived he allready face various difficult situation at Barca. And so far the team is so promising, i do believe that all the people are working their best together as team to bring Barca back in their elite level as it was. The team are still facing problems one to another but with their focus, tottality, togetherness and consistency well i gave my trust on them.. Xavi and all of Barca team this season is amazing and Will be more shine in the future
He’s doing better than any manager since Valverde but he needs to actually win in Europe and not get booked every other game to be one of the elite managers
Factsaa also he needs to put his ego aside too for the greater good cuz he is starting to destroy promising youngsters careers who could be potential Barca legends of the future. He's doing so by not playing them enough when he has the chance and despite them having great performances when given the chance. Abde Ezzalzouli was incredible in preseason and yet Xavi punished hom restricting him game time. Fati too. We lack midfield depth yet for no reason, Xavi sold kessie when he add much needed depth and physicality to the team. The future is leaving cuz their confidence is being destroyed by Xavi. Barca are now gaining a hefty injury list like last season and have to look for b-team players. The lack of depth shows. Making the same mistake like last season. Team will suffer everytime a handful of starters get injured. I really hope we don't go out in group stages again cuz Barca and Xavi are repeating the same mistakes.
@@dantekratos5395you dont make sense. Ansu doesn’t start for brighton, ez abde doesnt start for betis. If we kept kessie there would be no fermin lopez. You are not thinking or stating a proper objective criticism. You just hating for the sake of hating to get likes
@@dantekratos5395 then there is the factor of barcelona's financial situation. Xavi doesn't really have a choice. He HAS to sell players to get new ones. He has to reduce the wage bill as much as he can. His yellow cards are annoying, but loaning out fati or selling kessie are not particularly on him
the only thing I really don't like is the stupid excuses Xavi makes when Barcelona loses. Sometimes they don't look to good and he blames the pitch or that they played at daytime instead of night time 😅
The team was totally rebuild and winning the league title with new team and qualifying for UCL is a success for a young Coach like Xavi. I do believe he will do great as he get more experience.
A hardcore Real Madrid fan here. I am not a big fan of the grass cutter but come on...this dude just won them la liga last season with a broke Barca. Cut him some slack...he might be no pep guardiola but he's doing a good job.
@mr.sushi2221 it's amazing how clueless comments like these are. The squad isn't what it is without Xavi. Don't see how individual brilliance or how you even establish that is what wins games. But I will say Barcelona tend to have some of the best and most frequent team worked goals, so I call BS to this.
So many Barca fans are so spoiled and delusional. So many are so bilnded by the past tha they refuse to accept messi isnt here anymore, theyll say valverde is/was better than xavi? Lmao pls remember Anfield? Roma? Somtimes i dont understand the coach but since the beginning of this season all his line ups made sense, and he’s getting better and better. Hes not pep but he also doesnt have messi. At least not yeat….
He’s doing a pretty good job, he won the league last season, they were able to beat Madrid many times, he still needs to do better in Europe, they won’t win the UCL this year but I see them in QF or SF - Madrid fan
Took Barça from 9th to 2nd. Then won a domestic double in his first full season and owned Ancelotti. Has been plagued with an inuured squad and got robbed in the UCL
To be fair, Manchester City couldn't bear Porto in their stadium, neither could Inter or Milan. Juventus and Atletico lost there. Even if they didn't played that well, beating them has merits.
Osimhen wont go to Real, he has been on record stating Barca has been his dream club since he was a kid. Of course hes doing a great job, as soon as he took over Barca midseason, they were the best team the 2nd half of season. His 2nd season he won the league with 5 or 6 games to spare. All of this in one of if not Barca's most troubling time. To be fair to Koeman, dude had literally no budget for transfers, and Barca's stalwarts on their last leg.
He hasn’t been head coach for long. Yes they got eliminated early in champions league last season but they went on to win the league. Managers need longer leashes
"Give Xavi unlimited transfer budget like Man City or Chelsea" Alternatively, Xavi should apply head coach in these clubs (ManCity, Chelsea, Newcastle, PSG). Why come to Barca whose is in financial trouble ?
@@trephix Manchester city had 70% last year in the PL. Also considering Barça have been horrible in Europe the past years 65% is actually very good with what they were working with not having a good starting eleven for so long, this is the first year they actually have a good squad instead of just decent. This season they have a 80% win rate and the only team in Spain that's unbeaten
The Mbappe question is very valid...Mbappe has already said he doesn't like playing as a CF,I don't think he'd like RW either,so it'd be a problem with Vini bcz that's where he likes to play
Do people like you blindly watch games? Both Mbappe and Vinicius are best on the left wing, but these two are two of the top players on the planet. Mbappe can play anywhere attacking wise on the field he’s shown that.
@@treyjohnson8557 Lol...were him n Ney not 2 of the best itw??....but he still didn't like that he had to play CF n Ney LW,be serious bro....Mbappe is the best player itw rn,he's not gonna compromise his natural position for anyone
@@risizirevlon4338 yeah that’s not why they failed come on now. Mbappe doesn’t always play on the left, watch games. They had kolo playing on the left last game while mbappe played on the right and up the middle, pay attention.
@@ImRezqoo When you join a team like Madrid with talents like Vini you change. Mbappe is that good where he can and will play anywhere, and also Vini said he wants mbappe so what does that tell you? People like you don’t understand players. (Buddy boy)
Given his lack of experience we might say he’s doing good. But is he a correct coach choice for a team like Barcelona? He will need time to grow and learn that takes sometimes a decade or longer - does Barca and fans ok with waiting that long to finally show he belongs in top 16?
As Madrid fan xavi surprise me he great job the way you found the team and make theme on top of the la Liga barca fans should appreciate him a lot he own it
Barça plays like a bungled together team. Sometimes I struggle to see any clear style of play or game plan. The players look physical weak and cannot win individual duels.
For me Xavi’s ceiling was winning La Liga, as far as taking the club to another level, he’s sub par. Any decent manager could have won the league with those players that season. The current Barcelona squad is good enough to make it far in the UCL but the limitation is the coaching. Xavi might be good enough to win La Liga but he’s nowhere near being good enough to be competitive in Europe, so the good squad they have doesn’t matter if the coaching is not upto that level. The only reason they’re even making it out of this years group stage is because of having one of the easiest groups.
I cant be sure if Xavi has done or is doing a good job. It is still painful to watch us play the majority of the time. I can however confirm that Laporta, Alemany, Cruyff, Deco have done a pretty dang good job of at the very least trying to build a competitive team with no money.
Kylian Mbappe will eventually join Real Madrid and since they need a number 9, he's the exact superstar signing they need to elevate their club even further after Jude Bellingham, and there's still questions on how he fits this Real Madrid team from a tactical perspective and it has nothing to do with the Newcastle game where he wasn't good. Everyone is talking about how the team is gonna look dangerous with Mbappe playing alongside Rodrygo Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, but I think people are forgetting that 12-18 months ago, Kylian Mbappe at PSG was reportedly unhappy with playing as a number 9 and he wanted to play off of a target man on the left wing, hence why PSG signed Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani in the summer, he's likely to leave PSG for Real Madrid and as impactful of a signing he'll be it'll be interesting to see where he lines up. Kylian Mbappe's best position is a left inside forward left winger and that's where he thrives the most, if Real Madrid signs him, they'll have to go back to a 4-3-3 since they have a player who can do a brilliant job as a striker since he scores a lot of goals he'll do that but from a footballing perspective, he's never been an out an out number 9 he isn't like Erling Haaland Harry Kane or Robert Lewandowski type of strikers and he'll have to play as a striker if he goes to Real Madrid. If they sign him and play 4-3-3, they already have one of the best wingers in the world in Vinicius Junior and he's on that left wing for a decade, Rodrygo will be on the right and if they somehow manage to fit him into their system, Real Madrid are gonna be a scary team with Kylian Mbappe Jude Bellingham Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo but the main important thing for the next manager whether it's Xabi Alonso or anyone else and trying to fit him in the team and make them fluid and balanced as a collective.
The facts that we are in an easy group is solely bc we won the league. Last season we didn't manage but look how far Inter went. Finalists. We are a more down to earth team and have youngsters that are under full progress and care.
As a Madrid fan, I've been saying for years now that Haaland would be a better fit for us than Mbappé. Mbappé plays best in Vini's position. Our team is missing a pure number 9.
Most of these people behind the mic 🎙, will get sacked as a manger in their first 3 months (ask Neville).. It took Jurgen Klopp more than 4 years before he was able to win a major trophy at Liverpool. Yet, Xavi took over a broken Barcelona who hasn’t won the league in 3 years and brought back that smile in his second season; yet we question him. Give people breathing space, and we all know the financial turmoil the club is in;; easy on the man.
Barcelona is playing decently. But they lack intensity and a killer instinct to win a football game. There is at times a boring approach of passing back and then fourth side to side without any real sense of purpose or conviction. Xavi hast to have this team play with far more intensity, as if they are playing down two to nothing with 10 minutes to go. Because that is when the team wakes up and actually plays with passion.
Actually the reason they pass the ball side to side is so the full backs can make dummy runs, those dummy runs open space for the interiors in the final third to find the striker or the goal themselves
Xavi has rebuilt Barca in the best way possible and that shows how of a good coach he is look at teams like Chelsea and man united even with all the money in the world they still struggle to rebuild yet Xavi with a dozen of kids made them a champion without Messi and some wannabe Barca fan want him out. If so then I think you don’t know how embarrassing Barca was two years ago. You’ve forgotten 8-2
Considering the shitty finances and pathetic frame of mind of the club in which Xavi arrived. He is doing very good. To be Excellent, I wish him to do good in Europe. Doesnt mean to won UCL. but atleasy have a respectful tournament

And also, who is responsibility for the key injuries ... due to fatigue (e.g Pedri) ? Not the rookie coach who did not rotate properly. Lastly, did you hear of manager Tuchel's accomplishment at Chelsea ? Tuchel (Chelsea Manager: Jan 2021 to Sep 2022) 2020-21 Chelsea won UCL trophy ... beat ManCity 1-0 (30 May 2021) * He won the UCL trophy in half a season as Chelsea manager.
@@Novice-bn1xu How many mid season managers win a ucl? Did tuchel win it with bayern? Do u even remember 2021 transfer window? No quality players were signed in that summer window. Ronald koeman was in charge. Xavi came in November end when were on 9th place and our ucl r16 qualification depended upon beating flick's bayern at allianz arena with that depleted squad. Do u know how many games did pedri play in 20/21 season under koeman and spain : 70 games !! He had already become injury-prone before even xavi arrived. He returned in january. When did he get injured again? Which game? Yes, the frankfurt game,which we lost. We finished 2nd in laliga. 22/23 season- Levers are activated and new players are signed.U know why Lewandowski came from bayern? Xavi convinced him. Kounde had almost signed for chelsea. Why did he come here? Again,xavi's assurance. Ucl time! Group of death. 1st game bayern allianz arena: played very well,dominated the 1st half,didnt finish the chances and lost the game 2-0. Inter milan away fixture: U remember how our goal was disallowed ? An unfair handball from fati. Dumfries does the same handball but not a foul and stripped of a penalty. Close game, we lost 1-0. International break: Araujo,kounde,christensen injured. We played against bayern with backline of bellerin alonso and garcia. Wd lost . In the inter game, horrific defending from pique and garcia in last moments of game and game was draw 3-3. Out to the europa league. Match against united. Pedri injured. Gavi suspended. 1st leg draw, 2nd leg no interiors to play,thus only options kessie and roberto .Won the supercup dominating madrid and won the league with a gap of 10 points despited injuries. Winning ucl involves a lot of luck and good consistent squad. Circumstances forced him to play pragmatic. Won the league but in ucl,u need quality. He has done a great job and he needs to be trusted. He has never made excuses and takes accountability and created a positive environment around the club that players enjoy and play better.

By that logic, if anyone who wins the league in their second year as manager is doing bad, then 99.9% of managers are flops. Also, by your logic, any manager whose made it pass the UCL group stage will have a better season than winning the league. Apart from your single Tuchel example, which other manager is capable of winning the CL during “half season”? Give me an example of a “successful” coach apart from Tuchel. Pep took 7 years to win the prestigious UCL with city. Should we criticize him? Is he a shitty coach? Not interested? Lol.

I like Xavi as a player but coaching wise he has not done much amazing work
No he is not, hes recent outscoring a few teams overshadows the real problem. If you still cant dertemine your first 11, then no, he is not doing a good job. Most important, he needs to figure out is two cbs to build a solid partnership. He hard games are about to come and to me he is not prepared.

He’s doing better than any manager since Valverde but he needs to actually win in Europe and not get booked every other game to be one of the elite managers
Factsaa also he needs to put his ego aside too for the greater good cuz he is starting to destroy promising youngsters careers who could be potential Barca legends of the future. He's doing so by not playing them enough when he has the chance and despite them having great performances when given the chance. Abde Ezzalzouli was incredible in preseason and yet Xavi punished hom restricting him game time. Fati too. We lack midfield depth yet for no reason, Xavi sold kessie when he add much needed depth and physicality to the team. The future is leaving cuz their confidence is being destroyed by Xavi. Barca are now gaining a hefty injury list like last season and have to look for b-team players. The lack of depth shows. Making the same mistake like last season. Team will suffer everytime a handful of starters get injured.
I really hope we don't go out in group stages again cuz Barca and Xavi are repeating the same mistakes.
@@dantekratos5395you dont make sense. Ansu doesn’t start for brighton, ez abde doesnt start for betis. If we kept kessie there would be no fermin lopez. You are not thinking or stating a proper objective criticism. You just hating for the sake of hating to get likes
@dantekratos5395 you do understand we had to let go of some players to sign the new ones? Remember Barca is not doing well economically
@@dantekratos5395 then there is the factor of barcelona's financial situation. Xavi doesn't really have a choice. He HAS to sell players to get new ones. He has to reduce the wage bill as much as he can. His yellow cards are annoying, but loaning out fati or selling kessie are not particularly on him
the only thing I really don't like is the stupid excuses Xavi makes when Barcelona loses. Sometimes they don't look to good and he blames the pitch or that they played at daytime instead of night time 😅
The team was totally rebuild and winning the league title with new team and qualifying for UCL is a success for a young Coach like Xavi. I do believe he will do great as he get more experience.
A hardcore Real Madrid fan here. I am not a big fan of the grass cutter but come on...this dude just won them la liga last season with a broke Barca. Cut him some slack...he might be no pep guardiola but he's doing a good job.
Nobody is pep
Honestly he gets bailed out by his squad imo. He gets tactically exposed all the time but his squad is good enough to beat most teams anyway.
@@mr.sushi2221so basically he is doing it in Ancelotti way
@mr.sushi2221 it's amazing how clueless comments like these are. The squad isn't what it is without Xavi. Don't see how individual brilliance or how you even establish that is what wins games. But I will say Barcelona tend to have some of the best and most frequent team worked goals, so I call BS to this.
So many Barca fans are so spoiled and delusional. So many are so bilnded by the past tha they refuse to accept messi isnt here anymore, theyll say valverde is/was better than xavi? Lmao pls remember Anfield? Roma? Somtimes i dont understand the coach but since the beginning of this season all his line ups made sense, and he’s getting better and better. Hes not pep but he also doesnt have messi. At least not yeat….
He’s doing a pretty good job, he won the league last season, they were able to beat Madrid many times, he still needs to do better in Europe, they won’t win the UCL this year but I see them in QF or SF - Madrid fan
Took Barça from 9th to 2nd. Then won a domestic double in his first full season and owned Ancelotti. Has been plagued with an inuured squad and got robbed in the UCL

Osimhen wont go to Real, he has been on record stating Barca has been his dream club since he was a kid. Of course hes doing a great job, as soon as he took over Barca midseason, they were the best team the 2nd half of season. His 2nd season he won the league with 5 or 6 games to spare. All of this in one of if not Barca's most troubling time. To be fair to Koeman, dude had literally no budget for transfers, and Barca's stalwarts on their last leg.
He hasn’t been head coach for long. Yes they got eliminated early in champions league last season but they went on to win the league. Managers need longer leashes
Shaka: there's a 'GUAY' 😂
He has done well based on the circumstances at Barcelona when he came in !!
True not easy to win a league where Real Madrid are in bed with the refs 😭
His surely one of the best coaches currently with Ateta❤❤
Give Xavi unlimited transfer budget like Man City or Chelsea, he will dominate la liga and win one UCL or two.

Alternatively, Xavi should apply head coach in these clubs (ManCity, Chelsea, Newcastle, PSG).
Why come to Barca whose is in financial trouble ?

For a club like barca that doesnt sound high

@@trephix Manchester city had 70% last year in the PL.

@@sam-oi4mvBarcelona under Xavi with the players man city have will be unbeatable in Europe so Xavi is doing very well with money ❤️💯
In my opinion, he was a better coach in his first season than now. But now the better quality of players can hide any mistakes he makes.
I mean to be fair we played pretty good when FDJ was healthy, add to that Pedri, Raphinha and now Lewandowski.
We also had Busi last year so losing our anchor is a huge loss this season and Oriol Romeu is not going to come close to being a real replacement
@mrscottmescudi10 ok we downgraded in that position but the 9 other positions have been massively upgraded. Go and check his first team and this one
6:10 I think he does with limited financial support.
The Mbappe question is very valid...Mbappe has already said he doesn't like playing as a CF,I don't think he'd like RW either,so it'd be a problem with Vini bcz that's where he likes to play
Do people like you blindly watch games? Both Mbappe and Vinicius are best on the left wing, but these two are two of the top players on the planet. Mbappe can play anywhere attacking wise on the field he’s shown that.
@@treyjohnson8557 Lol...were him n Ney not 2 of the best itw??....but he still didn't like that he had to play CF n Ney LW,be serious bro....Mbappe is the best player itw rn,he's not gonna compromise his natural position for anyone

Absolutely love Shaka
Xavi is Xavi, man. He's going to do a great job no matter where he is.
Given his lack of experience we might say he’s doing good. But is he a correct coach choice for a team like Barcelona? He will need time to grow and learn that takes sometimes a decade or longer - does Barca and fans ok with waiting that long to finally show he belongs in top 16?
As Madrid fan xavi surprise me he great job the way you found the team and make theme on top of the la Liga barca fans should appreciate him a lot he own it
Look at that. Releasing a video with a Man Utd question but Man Utd is not in the thumbnail. So you ARE capable of it.
I love this family
When kay becoming like Dan & everybody concern is funny😅😅
Ale and his speed! 🤣🤣🤣
Barça plays like a bungled together team. Sometimes I struggle to see any clear style of play or game plan. The players look physical weak and cannot win individual duels.
Granted, Xavi's not as good as Eleven Hag but he's trying.
Thank you
The question is, are the trainers doing a good job. Cant keep anyone healthy.
Just decent. Still learning.
Steve don’t know even one good LB atm?
Ridiculous
Just say Balde ffs
Hahaha he was first in my mind but none of shameful people mentioned him, they are jealous.
He is good! He needs a little bit of experience and learn to evolve like pep did with Barca when anti Barcelona tactics were invented.
He's doing well motivating young players because of who he is. He can't select a team or make a proper change to save his fkn life though.
For me Xavi’s ceiling was winning La Liga, as far as taking the club to another level, he’s sub par. Any decent manager could have won the league with those players that season. The current Barcelona squad is good enough to make it far in the UCL but the limitation is the coaching. Xavi might be good enough to win La Liga but he’s nowhere near being good enough to be competitive in Europe, so the good squad they have doesn’t matter if the coaching is not upto that level. The only reason they’re even making it out of this years group stage is because of having one of the easiest groups.
Why do you think the coaching isnt good enough?
I cant be sure if Xavi has done or is doing a good job. It is still painful to watch us play the majority of the time. I can however confirm that Laporta, Alemany, Cruyff, Deco have done a pretty dang good job of at the very least trying to build a competitive team with no money.
Xavi is doing great 😂
Gallager has played every game for chelsea,and has captained the club this season than any other person
Not too hate on Xavi but he was provided wit signings and patience from the board. Koleman wasn’t given that
Best lefttback of all times either Roberto Carlos or Paolo Maldini
Kylian Mbappe will eventually join Real Madrid and since they need a number 9, he's the exact superstar signing they need to elevate their club even further after Jude Bellingham, and there's still questions on how he fits this Real Madrid team from a tactical perspective and it has nothing to do with the Newcastle game where he wasn't good. Everyone is talking about how the team is gonna look dangerous with Mbappe playing alongside Rodrygo Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, but I think people are forgetting that 12-18 months ago, Kylian Mbappe at PSG was reportedly unhappy with playing as a number 9 and he wanted to play off of a target man on the left wing, hence why PSG signed Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani in the summer, he's likely to leave PSG for Real Madrid and as impactful of a signing he'll be it'll be interesting to see where he lines up.
Kylian Mbappe's best position is a left inside forward left winger and that's where he thrives the most, if Real Madrid signs him, they'll have to go back to a 4-3-3 since they have a player who can do a brilliant job as a striker since he scores a lot of goals he'll do that but from a footballing perspective, he's never been an out an out number 9 he isn't like Erling Haaland Harry Kane or Robert Lewandowski type of strikers and he'll have to play as a striker if he goes to Real Madrid. If they sign him and play 4-3-3, they already have one of the best wingers in the world in Vinicius Junior and he's on that left wing for a decade, Rodrygo will be on the right and if they somehow manage to fit him into their system, Real Madrid are gonna be a scary team with Kylian Mbappe Jude Bellingham Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo but the main important thing for the next manager whether it's Xabi Alonso or anyone else and trying to fit him in the team and make them fluid and balanced as a collective.
Vini can play as a CF
The facts that we are in an easy group is solely bc we won the league. Last season we didn't manage but look how far Inter went. Finalists. We are a more down to earth team and have youngsters that are under full progress and care.
Xavi has done amazing considering he doesn’t have the privilege to spend hundreds of millions on players like every other big club does.
I never thought being knocked out in the ucl group stage 2 times is a great job 😂😂😂😂😂
Gallagher has a shout for England but Phillips should be nowhere near England rn
As a Madrid fan, I've been saying for years now that Haaland would be a better fit for us than Mbappé. Mbappé plays best in Vini's position. Our team is missing a pure number 9.
I’m convinced ESPN FC are a bunch of trollers.
The connection is Guay 😂
"is that for me?" said the clear Madrid fanboy
How many teams always win the laliga every season?
La Liga isn’t what it was and it’s a transition from the past … you would have to judge Xavi based off of the champions league and League Cup
Dimarco for LB
HAHAHA there is a guay🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most of these people behind the mic 🎙, will get sacked as a manger in their first 3 months (ask Neville).. It took Jurgen Klopp more than 4 years before he was able to win a major trophy at Liverpool. Yet, Xavi took over a broken Barcelona who hasn’t won the league in 3 years and brought back that smile in his second season; yet we question him. Give people breathing space, and we all know the financial turmoil the club is in;; easy on the man.
He’s doing good just suffers from being compared to pep
Barcelona is playing decently. But they lack intensity and a killer instinct to win a football game. There is at times a boring approach of passing back and then fourth side to side without any real sense of purpose or conviction. Xavi hast to have this team play with far more intensity, as if they are playing down two to nothing with 10 minutes to go. Because that is when the team wakes up and actually plays with passion.
Actually the reason they pass the ball side to side is so the full backs can make dummy runs, those dummy runs open space for the interiors in the final third to find the striker or the goal themselves
He’s definitely doing a great job given the circumstances he walked into
Xavi has rebuilt Barca in the best way possible and that shows how of a good coach he is look at teams like Chelsea and man united even with all the money in the world they still struggle to rebuild yet Xavi with a dozen of kids made them a champion without Messi and some wannabe Barca fan want him out. If so then I think you don’t know how embarrassing Barca was two years ago. You’ve forgotten 8-2
No he’s very unconvincing
the question is are they paying referees? 🤣👏
Hes alright seen someone did better, but could've been worse. He alright
Barcelona are nothing compared to when he was playing
No.
😂ESPN go back answer your own questions: wether xavi was ready to take over Barca years ago
Considering the shitty finances and pathetic frame of mind of the club in which Xavi arrived.
He is doing very good.
To be Excellent, I wish him to do good in Europe.

Really ? ... esp in the 2nd season when he get new players.
And also, who is responsibility for the key injuries ... due to fatigue (e.g Pedri) ?
Not the rookie coach who did not rotate properly.
Lastly, did you hear of manager Tuchel's accomplishment at Chelsea ?
Tuchel (Chelsea Manager: Jan 2021 to Sep 2022)
2020-21 Chelsea won UCL trophy ... beat ManCity 1-0 (30 May 2021)
* He won the UCL trophy in half a season as Chelsea manager.
@@Novice-bn1xu How many mid season managers win a ucl? Did tuchel win it with bayern?
Do u even remember 2021 transfer window? No quality players were signed in that summer window. Ronald koeman was in charge. Xavi came in November end when were on 9th place and our ucl r16 qualification depended upon beating flick's bayern at allianz arena with that depleted squad.
Do u know how many games did pedri play in 20/21 season under koeman and spain : 70 games !! He had already become injury-prone before even xavi arrived. He returned in january. When did he get injured again? Which game? Yes, the frankfurt game,which we lost.
We finished 2nd in laliga.
22/23 season-
Levers are activated and new players are signed.U know why Lewandowski came from bayern? Xavi convinced him. Kounde had almost signed for chelsea. Why did he come here? Again,xavi's assurance. Ucl time! Group of death.
1st game bayern allianz arena: played very well,dominated the 1st half,didnt finish the chances and lost the game 2-0.
Inter milan away fixture: U remember how our goal was disallowed ? An unfair handball from fati. Dumfries does the same handball but not a foul and stripped of a penalty. Close game, we lost 1-0.
International break: Araujo,kounde,christensen injured.
We played against bayern with backline of bellerin alonso and garcia. Wd lost . In the inter game, horrific defending from pique and garcia in last moments of game and game was draw 3-3.
Out to the europa league. Match against united. Pedri injured. Gavi suspended. 1st leg draw, 2nd leg no interiors to play,thus only options kessie and roberto .Won the supercup dominating madrid and won the league with a gap of 10 points despited injuries.
Winning ucl involves a lot of luck and good consistent squad.
Circumstances forced him to play pragmatic. Won the league but in ucl,u need quality.
He has done a great job and he needs to be trusted.
He has never made excuses and takes accountability and created a positive environment around the club that players enjoy and play better.
Why are we not talking about xavi Alonso, he is doing an amazing job in my opinion.
He is doing a way better job than Xavi
He won the league last season for God’s sake. I don’t know if anyone can do better than that.

By that logic, if anyone who wins the league in their second year as manager is doing bad, then 99.9% of managers are flops.
Also, by your logic, any manager whose made it pass the UCL group stage will have a better season than winning the league.
Apart from your single Tuchel example, which other manager is capable of winning the CL during “half season”?
