Legendary FC Barcelona player, Xavi will not have made as much of an impression on the bench of the Catalan club. Just eliminated from the Champions League by PSG, the Blaugrana club lost the Clasico this Sunday. And this definitively dooms any hope of a title for Barça.

For Xavi, this results above all in a terrible statistic. He is the first coach since the so-called O’Connell between 1935 and 1940 to have 4 consecutive defeats against Real Madrid. The series began last season in the semi-final of the Copa del Rey, then two defeats in La Liga this season as well as one in the Spanish Super Cup.
