Xavi made a stop in the downward course of Barcelona in the last years and with the “ally” of time it brings it back to reality.
The economic problems they created confusion in the club resulting in competitive “sedimentation”. His biggest loss of course Lionel Messi, as he was unable to lift his “gilded” contract. The Argentine World Champion was forced to leave his “home”..
With the minimal experience in coaching from what he gained in Saudi Arabia, Xavi took it upon himself to get Barcelona out of the doldrums and in the two years he completed a month ago he seems to be on the right track. He celebrated the championship last season, while at the same time adding and improving elements of it successful past.
One of them is the percentage of goals per match, which amounts to 1.86. In other words, his players score almost two goals per game. An impressive stat when you consider that he is managing a roster with a lot of little ones, without performances at the top level. In fact, they no longer exist… Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar etc. Names with which the late worked Tito Vilanovafirst on the list with an unrepeatable percentage of 3.14 per match, o Luis Enrique (2.96) and o Pep Guardiola. (2.71).

Barcelona have been inconsistent in their performance this year, but their scoring prowess has earned them valuable points.
