Barcelona reversed Almeria away, Xavi's 100-game milestone is now in charge
Barcelona, the champion of La Liga last season, has encountered many difficulties this season, withdrawing from the title race for many domestic competitions early, and the Champions League has also unfortunately stopped. However, even in such difficult circumstances, Barcelona still fought to win every game as a giant. They recently challenged bottom-bottom Almeria, who are winless at home this season, while Barcelona are on a two-game losing streak on the road.
In this campaign, Almeria performed well and caused a lot of problems for Barcelona. However, thanks to Fermin's brace, Barcelona finally kept a clean sheet 2-0 and ended the slump of the away losing streak. Although the victory was hard-won, the game exposed Barcelona's concerns.
On the occasion of Xavi's 100th La Liga milestone in charge, he opted to play his squad with the intention of celebrating the special occasion with a victory. However, in addition to the victory, Xavi admitted in an interview that the club was in financial difficulties, a remark that annoyed Barcelona president Joan Laporta. It is reported that Laporta is very dissatisfied with Xavi's remarks, which also lays a hidden danger for Xavi's coaching career.
Despite Xavi's victory, the shadow of economic problems still hangs over Barcelona. In the future, it remains to be seen how Xavi will lead the team out of the predicament and achieve a revival. At the same time, Barcelona also need to make smart decisions in the transfer market and breathe new life into the squad to cope with the upcoming challenges.
