Let us shed some light on the New Barcelona under Xavi.

Barcelona As a Club

Barcelona is a club of great integrity, respect and rich history.When we think of Barcelona we usually come up with terms like best,Messi, tiki taka, Spanish giants.

Barcelona lies in the hearts of culers and are a club which is very famous and followed in the whole world.

Barcelona had a great European success in recent history under the Manager Pep Guardiola and then Luis Enrique.

At that time the team was well drilled and had a many stars from academy ie :Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets.

Recent Issues

But,in recent years Barcelona has been in a state of kind of a turmoil.With no.of humiliating exits in the champions League and change of managers along with signing unnecessary players.

After Neymar’s move to PSG Barcelona got a big amount of money out of that transfer.

But, they were not able to use it wisely, as they signed players which were not fitting their system and academy integration into the team also decreased.

Messi Saga

After the humiliating defeat against Bayern Munich in the Champions League big steps needed to be taken.

Messi wanted to leave the Club but, wasn’t allowed to do so by then President Bartomeu.New manager Ronald Koeman was given charge of the club.

Barcelona had a very topsy turvey season as they won the Cops Del Rey but lost in the UCL round of 16 and also bottled the league title in the last few matchdays.

Then, the new season 2021-22 arrived and Barcelona failed to register Lionel Messi. As a result he went to PSG.

Xavi’s Barcelona

Barca made some free transfers amidst the money crisis in the club.

But, the blaugrana suffered a shock group stage exit from Champions League and were 8th in league.

Amidst this situation former Captain and Club legend Xavi was appointed as manager.

With the arrival of Xavi the whole system changed and Barca started showing intent.

But, still the injurious and unavailability of right players hindered the project.

In January’s winter transfer window Barcelona signed some players ie, Ferran, Traore and Aubameyang and also registered Alves in the team.

Since, then Xavi’s system seems to be fititing nicely with the players and Barca are doing good.

Xavi had a great impact on the playing style of Barca as they are looking great for the first time in a long time.

Xavi’s project has been looking to move in the right direction.

The club has recently defeated Atletico Madrid convincingly and also Knocked Out Napoli dominatingly in the Europa League.

Conclusion

But,the club still needs to improve a lot.

Full backs need to be signed in the signed in the summer and also Sergio Busquets’ long term replacement should be found in time.

Mission Haaland is also on for the club as he looks to move this summer and Barca is a likely destination.

In the end, I think the club is moving in a right direction giving more opportunities to talented youngsters like: Gavi.

Xavi’s plan seems to be working right and the club is poised by many to win the Europa League and is also 4th on the league table.

The Spanish giants are definitely going to be a force to reckon in the upcoming years and can compete for all the trophies in the Europe.
