The holiday break has mercifully arrived for Barcelona.
This is not where Xavi expected his team to be with the year coming to a close. Barely passing by the worst team in La Liga.
It wasn’t a tactical masterclass by Almeria, who were looking for their very first win of the season. They were just as bad as we thought they would be. Barcelona just happened to lower themselves to their level.
Robert Lewandowski, poor guy, continues to struggle in front of goal. So who stepped up to show him the way? None other than the pride and joy of La Masia himself, Sergi Roberto.
