Am still saddened to see how Barcelona is struggling to win convincingly against weaker opponents such elche even in front of its home fans!
Yesterday they almost threw away a two goal lead which saw elche pull a comeback to level the score line but it was a last minute goal which saved the team to secure the three points for Xavi and team. Something needs to change for FCB urgently...
In the second half, Barcelona was slack. As a result, Elche was able to equalize to 2-2 in just two minutes. Entering the end of the game, Barcelona managed to win again, Nico Gonzalez goal managed to ensure the Blaugrana victory.
Barcelona showed an extraordinary performance against Elche, Barcelona appeared dominant at the start of the match, They even tend to lock Elche in the visitors penalty box. The opportunities created by Barcelona players are quite a lot, recorded 19 shots were successfully released by Barcelona players in this match. Although the efficiency of exploiting opportunities still needs to be improved, because only 8 of the 19 shots were on target. During Xavi's tenure as Barcelona coach, it can be said that the match against Elche was the best performance of barcelona in the Xavi era.
