Xavi still have a long way to go when it comes to coaching, despite a club (Barcelona) having all the players it takes for a team to win a match, The Coach and it's experience matters a lot in some kind competition like this El Classico for instance. I do think that Barcelona lose to Real Madrid in yesterday's game was as a result of Xavi's lack of experience in coaching, Therefore Real Madrid Anceloti won the game with experience and not because they got quality players more than Barcelona.
Barcelona apparently failed to be a smiling team at the end of the El Clasico match which took place at the Santiago Bernabeu, Madrid's home ground.
IMO, I think Xavi repeats his mistake again so that his troops must be willing to be conquered by Los Blancos.
actually there are a lot of chances they have, it's just that their finishing is very poor. in the defensive line, they often ignore the movements of opposing players, as a result, Benzama and Valverde who scored in the match were able to shoot comfortably without an escort.
However, what deserves appreciation in this match is Madrid's very solid midfield. as a result, Madrid returned to the top of the La Liga standings.
this is inseparable from the poor performance of Barcelona in the last few matches and in this EL CLasico match it was proven that Real Madrid can play more comfortably without being burdened so that they can bring out all their best games.IMO, I think Xavi repeats his mistake again so that his troops must be willing to be conquered by Los Blancos.

this is not an unexpected result, for now the Real Madrid team is indeed better than Barcelona in all aspects.
and at the moment Real Madrid are the only team in La Liga that are unbeaten this season, they are really very strong and consistent. I think with the squad they have at the moment it will be difficult for other teams to break their dominance.
Barcelona loves playing fancy and entertaining football which is not benefiting when you are losing or needs a win.They really played well but couldn't win the match.Real Madrid are goals hunters they believe more in scoring goals than ball possession. Playing at home also gave them an advantage which they made us of properly. Benzema is a wonderful striker,he has scored 12 goals and assisted 9 goals so far for Real Madrid against Barca in 37 matches in all competitions. 3-1 is a big win. In recent seven matches played between both clubs Madrid has win 6 out of 7 in all competitions.
The reason for Barcelona's loss in the last three matches was due to the Bad choice of players
and Xavi's inability to read the opponent well before the confrontation.
But Barca still has a chance to win La Liga but no hope for UCL, Unless a miracle happens.
I'm convinced that Barca is bigger than Xavi's potential, unfortunately.

but for the champions league, barca's hopes are really small, it's impossible for inter to lose that easily, currently barca's position in group C is in 3rd place and the chance of going down to the european league is very big
Precisely. Without the goals, I give it to Barcelona, they played slightly better. And I would not call the victory of Real luck either. They did it too against Liverpool in the Champions League and in some other games.
And in terms of defense, Barcelona is formidable allowing only 1 goal. While at the same time in 8 league games, Real allowed all their 7 opposing teams to score except 1. Barcelona really struggled with their timing and barely scored a goal.

Sorry, no offense 
Why do you only consider games in La Liga where Barcelona had one strong opponent? Maybe it's worth considering Barcelona's games only against strong opponents if you think that Barcelona is close to them? And in this case we see 0-2 with Bayern, 0-1 with Inter, 3-3 with Inter (where a draw is tantamount to defeat) and 1-3 with Real. Now the picture looks a little different, doesn't it?
The Barcelona team is not strong yet. We must accept this. Barcelona have played well in La Liga because they don't face strong opponents. Barcelona's squad has already proven how effective it is against strong teams. Barcelona dropped points against all three teams, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Madrid. And their defense was very weak. While Xavi has focused on strengthening his attack, he has not strengthened his defence. As a result, Barcelona cannot play well against strong teams.

Could it be said that Barcelona's previous opponents were on a different level? Real Madrid don't need how strong they are defensively, but they showed how effective they are in attack. I saw nothing special about what Real Madrid played, but they were able to calm down and make the game a win for them. Carlo Ancelotti's philosophy of football is nothing special again, but they are able to make the audience believe in them.
Alaba, Mendy, Militao, Carvajal and Rudiger will mad when they read this 
Although they don't get a spotlight from the medias, it doesn't mean they're just an average defenders who play football. Actually the defenders on this match is really good since they're really make Barcelona's striker hard to shoot on the target since Courtois is injured, Lunin is just a substitute goal keeper who only play against weak club. If Courtois isn't injured, the match will end 3-0 since the goal from Barcelona is a mistake from the Real Madrid's goal keeper who play bad.
Barcelona did great to be more dominating the game but real madrid had the better result at the end of the 90minutes of these heating match.

Real Madrid's defense was not good? Seriously?! I am very surprised to hear this. I would say that Real Madrid won this match only because of the excellent performance of their defenders and goalkeeper. Barcelona players attacked a lot. And every attack was successfully blocked by Real Madrid's defenders and goalkeepers. Had the defenders not performed well, this match would have been a 3-3 draw. However, at the top of the table now is Real Madrid. They are 3 points ahead of Barcelona. Madrid will be able to hold the top spot for a long time.

The first El Clasico this season in La Liga shows Real Madrid is quite good at reading Barcelona games on all lines. as if they have memorised what Barcelona players will do when they hold the ball.
The problem that Xavi had to fix in Barcelona after the El Clasico match at the Bernabeu was defense.

Snip.
The game yesterday was not really interesting for a long time. So after 2:0 there were many minutes without great chances or special highlights. Real Madrid's game was much more structured and there was a goal by Benzema that was not given because of offside, so they could have won higher. Barcelona has few players who are much younger, for example Pedri, Balde and Gavi. They have not more experience... Real Madrid currently has players with much more.Ancelotti is very clever in strategizing, he can read Barcelona shortcomings. Ancelotti did not waste this opportunity to bring his team to the top of the table, Ancelotti hard work and supported by good performances from his players, Real Madrid was able to take the lead over Barcelona and make the gap between these two teams three points.
Real Madrid is an experienced team. After Madrid scored the first goal of the match, it was well understood that Real Madrid was going to win the match. Because Real Madrid's strategy is excellent. After scoring, they played defensive tactics and secured their victory. Real Madrid who scored first kept their defense strong and then tried to attack. The performance of Real Madrid's defensive players was excellent. They were able to successfully counter every attack from the Barcelona players.
I agree with you that Ancelotti's tactics are excellent and he is very clever. He understood Barcelona's defensive weaknesses very well. And because of the weakness of the defense, Barcelona lost this match as well.
El Clasico is no longer the same. Because although Real Madrid's form is the same as before, Barcelona's form is not good. Real Madrid's players are very inexperienced, they play very tactical football, while Barcelona is full of young players and they have to work harder.
That's just the judgment of some people, because I see Barcelona's players are also quite good at controlling the ball and attacking Real Madrid. But the chances can always be thwarted by the Real Madrid players so there are not many goals that can be created by the Barcelona players in the match except for just one. Regarding the young players at Barcelona, I see that not all of them are young, even though on average they are still young, but players like Lewandowski I don't think they are in the young category anymore at this point.

No, it's still the same but barcelona football's philosophy can be predicted easily. that's why this team is always loosing against another big team. Just put your team to the defensive - counter attack strategy and you can win against barcelona easily. This team never learn from their past experience. They have very weak defensive that was wanna attacking its opponent too. they were leaving their position to attack their opponent which is very stupid.
ancelotti has been experienced with such strategy. it's very easy for him to beat barcelona.
Things are getting really alarming for Barcelona from now on. Because their bad form in the Champions League has started to reflect on their La Liga matches as well. Because normally Barcelona would be able to put up a big fight against Real Madrid no matter where the match is played. But their performance was in this one was quite inadequate. Lewandowski was another disappointment especially for wasting a huge goal chance and not being very effective at all. This is like their second big match that he doesn't score any goal in.
Xavi must create a solution to this and he needs to do it fast. Otherwise it looks like they can fail in their target of winning the La Liga title this season. I know that they have had some injured players for some time but it doesn't feel like this is the main problem of the team right now.

I would say Xavi has stabilized the Barcelona team but he has not been able to strengthen the team. We all know Xavi is not yet experienced. Experience is definitely needed to strengthen a team. Because of Xavi's lack of experience, Barcelona's performance is not strong despite having a lot of talented players. Xavi is not able to find the team's weaknesses.
Barcelona is not getting good performances from Lewandowski. Lewandowski has the ability. But Lewandowski is not able to play well due to the weakness of their strategy. I would say Barcelona's midfield is still not strong enough. If the midfield is strong, the attacking players will be able to play better.

The match was an interesting and entertaining one. No doubt, Barcelona played quite well. But, Real Madrid was able to secure two goals in the first half of the game, which gave them an edge over Barcelona in the match. However, I was expecting Barca to bounce back in the second half and probably equalize the score. Madrid had only one obligation, and that was to win the game inorder to maintain their position on the standings. 
Since losing several players, Barcelona has experienced a decline in performance. Those who are absent cannot be replaced by their substitutes who come off the bench. Initially everything was fine, but with the increasing number of opponents, the absence of the players who had been the mainstay was felt. The impact on unsatisfactory results, including during El Clasico matches. It is a job for Xavi to be able to strengthen the depth of their squad so that there is no leisure when the main players are absent.
