After joining the club, Xavi has made it crystal clear that the defensive display that was shown in the loss to Celta Vigo is unacceptable for him. Barcelona has been struggling to play a good game. They only have one clean sheet through this season. They had a goalless draw with Cadiz back in September this year.

Barcelona’s performance was not satisfying and they lost many points as their defensive ability was weak this season. Their opponents could easily score a goal against their defense.

"It is difficult for us to score and the opponents, with the little they do, they score against us," said Jordi Alba after the 1-1 draw with Alaves at the Camp Nou.

In Ronald Koeman’s recent tenure as a coach, he rarely put light on the defensive issues of Barcelona, he blamed the finishing touch as the club’s weakness. However, it is visible in Barcelona’s performance that the main issue with Barcelona’s performance is defense.

Xavi’s plan:

The new boss of Barcelona doesn’t have that much time to train the whole squad of the club because of the International break. But he has made it clear that the team must show possession towards the game and performance.

If Barcelona has the ball, they will create more chances for them and reduce the opponent’s chances to do so. Xavi will possibly change Barcelona’s defense, where Gerard Pique and Eric Garcia will make the starting center-back duo.

Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti could be part of the rotation. While RonaldAraujo is hoping to have his place in the starting eleven after his return from injury. Eticketing.co is the best website to buy el Clasico tickets. Fans can buy Barcelona vs Real Madrid Tickets from our website.
