It's true that Barcelona's way of playing has changed, now Barcelona is playing more confidently, and most importantly, teamwork is getting more solid.
I am optimistic that Xavi can bring back the glory of Barcelona, so I hope that in the next game Barcelona can win again. Moreover, Barcelona's next
opponent is Betis who are in a higher position, this means that this is a good opportunity for Barcelona to move up to a higher position. But Betis are
in 5th place now not by chance, this proves Betis a strong team, need a good strategy to beat Betis. But Barcelona have better quality players,
Xavi should have taken advantage of that and made Barcelona beat Betis.

Xavi knows Camp nou too well and is already conversant with they tactics that best suits Barcelona that is why it didn't take him much to adapt as the new coach. For their next game against Betis Barcelona has what it takes to win the game all it would cost them is a good game plan. It gives me joy that Barcelona is gradually bouncing back

The only thing I fear is that Xavi will begin to "return" Barcelona to the past by focusing on tiki taka - it seems to me that this strategy is already outdated (even with a great set of performers) and this will lead to worse results.

It may be an outdated strategy but he'll most likely revert to this style. I also doubt it will be as effective during Pep's days but let's see if Xavi can add something and make it "hybrid" to adopt with modern football.

Victory against Villarreal is very important to raise the morale of Barcelona players, because Villarreal is one of the strongest teams in La Liga.

I agree, this victory will improve the confidence of all Barcelona players. They will play more aggressively and optimistic in the next matches. This is a good sign for Barcelona management that the Barcelona team has promising progress managed by Xavi. It is probably too early to say this, but I saw some differences (changes) in Barcelona gameplay. Gradually, the real nature of Barcelona team returns, just look at how they control the ball possession in the last two matches.

After end of first half now both teams are level with 1 - 1 but Sevilla done some good in first half now if they keep this momentum then surely they can restrict Real Madrid and can stay on second spot in La Liga with one game still in hand because now after Xavi's arrival situation is very serious in this league Barcelona is improving so other teams have to do some better for staying at top today Atletico won and Real Socidad lost and if Sevilla also lost then surely Real Madrid will enjoy 5 points gap against their all opponents and Sevilla will also slip from second to fourth spot with just 5 points gap between them and Barcelona which is now also hunting for their spot in top four as they already out of this year's Champions League knock out stage.

It's a tough game for Real Madrid at the moment because Sevilla are really playing quite well. The 1-1 score lasted until the 80th minute and this will not be good for Real Madrid who are struggling to stay away from chasing Sevilla. If Sevilla win then they will be top of the table by a point away from Real Madrid, but it seems difficult to see that becoming a fact. But I think a draw will also be good for both teams because it will make the competition even more difficult with a small difference in point. Both team still had chance to score, but it was an even game.

Are you sure these are good results? A couple of victories over the middle peasants and a draw with Benfica, which will most likely lead to the fact that Barcelona will end its performance in the Champions League this year.
I think that the "miracle" will end at the Allianz Arena, the clock will strike 12 and the carriage will turn into a pumpkin again Grin

Let's be fair to them, they were a bad team just like a month ago or so, probably not that much. People didn't even expected them to be in the UCL entry levels, and now they have a couple of wins and a tie and Xavi have not lost a single game yet. Yes it is a small sample size and yes they didn't play too much of a challenge yet, but they are not responsible for their schedule right? They are responsible for winning no matter how easy or hard the games are. If they didn't lose to mid level teams then they wouldn't be at the position they are in right now and Koeman wouldn't be fired right now.

This shows that the team who lost even to some horrible teams, and the team that caused the UCL groups to be this way, suddenly changed. Yes they got a tie and "that" will cause them to be third probably, but if they had better first games then benfica tie would not be a problem. Hence I believe: so far so good.

I have nothing against Barcelona, just in my opinion the replacement of the coach has not changed anything. The same results could have been with the previous coach. The only thing I fear is that Xavi will begin to "return" Barcelona to the past by focusing on tiki taka - it seems to me that this strategy is already outdated (even with a great set of performers) and this will lead to worse results.

It is surprising on how Real Betis were able to win against Levante, despite losing in the first half of the match. Levante scored the first goal 7 minutes into the game, while the first half ended with Levante leading. Only for Real Betis to bounce back in the second half and Juanmi scored 3 goals within 24 minutes. Probably, his first hat trick in his career. He have so far scored 8 goals this season in La Liga. While 2 in Champion League. Real Betis presently have 27 points.

Real betis game and also levante's normally don't have much goals, so I was thrilled to see Real betis 3 and levante 1, I big cheer to the home fans I think the home team showed more interest to win the match, even if levante scored first they played like a segunda division team, in the live match between Real madrid vs seville it may just be the same ending with the former where the home team comes back from one goal and turn the game on its head by wining 3:1

Villarreal - Barcelona game started not long time ago. And Barcelona started having the most ball possession in the game just as I expected. I assume that Xavi wants his players to get accustomed to playing like the usual Barcelona. This is really good and I assume that the supporters also would like to see this. They have missed Messi so much already and they would be content only if the team go back to their old times. Anyway, Barcelona can beat Villarreal as long as they have the control of the game. But it might not be very easy.

How many times have Barcelona controlled the game and still continued to lose points this season? Numerous.

Basing on how the game looked like at the beginning it seems Xavi wants Barcelona midfield to play a high pressing game which seemed to work but as soon as they relaxed, Villarreal has gained more confidence and started attacking them. Let see how it ends.

You are right about your first sentence. But Barcelona didn't let it happen again this time and they destroyed Villarreal by 3-1. After seeing 0 goal in the first half, I was thinking like this was going to be a game without many goals. But the second half was totally different. Barcelona scored an early goal. And thanks to Villarreal's answer, we watched two more goals from the Barcelona side. They came in the last moments of the game but it doesn't matter to me. I still think that Barcelona got a deserved win in this stadium against a tough opponent. It is time for them to maintain a good streak finally!

In the current match, Sevilla took a 1-0 lead with Mir's goal at the Santiago Bernabeu. If Sevilla wins this match, they will become the leader in La Liga. This is an important match for Real Madrid, Sevilla and their followers, Atletico Madrid, Real Sociedad and Real Betis. Let's see which team will win at the end of the match, will the leader change in the league?

Barcelona is starting to show its quality, gradually hopefully this will be a turning point where Xavi presence can provide something different for Barcelona which is in a period of improvement. It's not wrong to choose Xavi to lead Barcelona. It seems Xavi is calmer and knows how to deal with each player abilities. Getting a score of 3 is the start that should motivate Barcelona.

Had a draw in the first half they finally won. Villareal seemed unlucky that night. After losing 0-2 to Man United they lost again to Barcelona. Barclona was able to not lose while with Xavi. A pretty good start, Xavi must be more creative in encouraging the Barcelona players to keep fighting in every game. There will still be a lot of matches to be played, let's see how it goes.

It's quite a salute to see Xavi's hard work which bears proud results for all Barcelona fans. This proves that Xavi has made progress in implementing his strategy. From the start of the game, it was clear that Barcelona's attack strategy was no longer required to throw the ball in vain. But here Xavi's cleverness is to give all executions to the main attacker and also behind him an alternative executioner has been prepared. This strategy is also unreadable to the opponent. So that Barcelona can bring a score of just 3 into consideration for the next opponent.

we should give appreciation to Xavi Hernandez's performance in the few weeks he has spent with Barcelona, especially in last night's match where he successfully beat Villarreal's luana with a score of 1-3 and also at the same time again Barcelona's ability to still penetrate the Champions League zone next season where Xavi Hernandez's material material is very limited considering that Barcelona is experiencing bankruptcy or the financial crisis experienced by the Catalan club, but this time Xavi Hernandez showed a very different experience where he immediately took over a team of Barcelona's caliber which is known as the team. La Liga giants in recent years, with this winning trend I am very confident that Xavi Hernandez can manage Barcelona well considering he already knows the players Barcelona need this season

Sociedad's 1-0 defeat to Espanyol opened up a big enough chance for Atletico Madrid to break into second place if they beat Cadiz tonight, but they also hope that Real Madrid can beat Sevilla, on paper Atletico Madrid's chances of getting three points are very wide open because the opponent Cadiz is facing is in the bottom half of the table at the moment.

Atletico Madrid used their chance and won the match vs Cadiz 4-1. 1st time was goalless but Thomas Lemar scored for Atletico at 56th and then two goals from Antoine Griezmann and Angel Correa sealed the victory.

Unfortunately for sevilla benzima scored the equaizer in the 32nd minutes but let me say that the first half was really 50% 50% especially in the goal attempts, possession was also almost the same but real madrid take the advantage in term of dangerous attacks

Xavi is working miracles, it shows that a good trainer can take a frog and turn it into a prince. in the case of barcelona he is managing to have good results even without having hired new players.

Are you sure these are good results? A couple of victories over the middle peasants and a draw with Benfica, which will most likely lead to the fact that Barcelona will end its performance in the Champions League this year.

Can Betis comeback from 0-1 against Levante and win the game or take a draw ? Did anyone saw the 1st half ? I only saw the last 10 minutes of it and I must say that Betis will go full force in the 2nd half in order to score and secure at least the draw. Also , let's not forget that , Levante is on the last place in LaLiga.

Unexpected things happened in this match.
I didn't expect the calves to be so overpowered in the second half and their game was very different from the first half.
Levante were breathless in the game in the second half and they focused solely on defense even though it was less effective.
jimenez looks crazy in this match

Cadiz is in table 17, it should also be an opportunity for Atletico Madrid who are required to win against them, the chance to move up the rankings is also great because Sevilla will face Real Madrid, of course it will not be easy and this could be Sevilla's defeat tonight.
Atlético Madrid after against Cadiz there is still one game left so for me the opportunity is quite big to catch Real Madrid points and it's just that Atletico have to accept a draw in the last 3 matches before that.

On the other hand for me Barcelona there has been a growth in Xavi's manager.

I believe with optimal conditions Real Madrid can steal that position by taking advantage of the match against Sevilla in a few hours. So that adds more points that Real Madrid collects. At least it can make them further away from Real Sociedad who continuously want to take back the first position.
