Barcelona’s poor results continue under Xavi, Maradona Cup won by Boca Juniors
Barcelona lost to Argentina’s Boca Juniors in a Maradona Cup friendly on Tuesday, extending a run of dismal results in recent weeks. On a positive note for Catalan fans, defender Dani Alves made his first appearance for the Blaugranas since his return to Camp Nou and left a very good impression.
In Tuesday’s Maradona Cup friendly, Barcelona lost to Argentina’s Boca Juniors, extending a run of dismal results in recent weeks. On a positive note for Catalan fans, defender Dani Alves made his first appearance for the Blaugranas since his return to Camp Nou and left a very good impression.
Xavi Hernandez, along with his implementation team, still can’t and won’t wake up the players of the Catalan colossus to life and, above all, to better results.
After the disappointment of last week, when Barcelona lost in Bavaria by a class difference to Bayern Munich there, another came at the weekend in the form of a mere draw with Osasuna.
It followed up last week’s loss in a friendly against Boca Juniors, which it lost 2-1 on penalties.
The returnee Dani Alves made his debut in the red and blue jersey, but even he did not prevent another defeat, although he gave a very promising performance and showed that even at the age of 38 he still has something to offer Barcelona.
Counting the non-competitive game against Boca Juniors, Barcelona have won only once in their last five games, against Villareal at the end of November, and have only scored a single point in the other four games. A pathetic record.
Club legend Xavi will have to awaken in his charges a much greater hunger for football, for points and perhaps above all for the joy of the game. The lightness we are used to seeing in the football temple of Camp Nou is sorely lacking. Eighth place in the La Liga table should be proof of that.
