Xavi Hernandez labels Barcelona as “one of the worst teams in Europe” in key aspect

According to the report from football-espana, there’s no doubt that Barcelona are struggling at the moment. Pressure is building on Xavi Hernandez and his players, and that only intensified on Saturday after a disappointing 1-1 draw against Valencia at the Mestalla – a match that the Catalans had led in the second half, before Hugo Guillamon’s stunning equaliser.informationguidenigeria

Speaking post-match (via MD), Xavi cut a very frustrated figure, although he was hopeful in some aspects. Still, he was incredibly annoyed with his side’s lack of ruthlessness in front of goal, which is an area that has plagued Barcelona over their disappointing recent run.JAMB Portal

“Valencia’s goal is a mistake, yes, but if we have to focus on something, it is effectiveness. We can’t forgive these types of chances. We had the game under control, we had to make it 2-0 and score, we didn’t do it and that’s what we’re missing this season.JAMB Portal

“We must be one of the worst teams in Europe in terms of effectiveness. It happened to us in Mallorca, in Granada. We were much better than Atletico, and they almost equalised. Against Girona we should have gone 2-1 up, and then made it 3-3 late on. We’re not doing well in effectiveness.”NYSC Portal

Xavi isn’t wrong, as data shows that Barcelona have converted less than a third of their big chances into goals – which is incredibly worrying. A lot of this comes down to Robert Lewandowski, who has massively struggled in recent weeks, and again so against Valencia.NYSC Portal

The winter break is coming at a good time for Barcelona, but first, it is absolutely that they defeat Almeria at Montjuic on Wednesday. Anything less than three points could well cost Xavi his job.
