As we reach the halfway point in La Liga, Barcelona have, incredibly, lost just once in the Spanish top flight and amassed 50 points.
That’s a testament to the work that Xavi Hernandez continues to do behind the scenes.
Despite many culers voicing their concerns over Xavi’s managerial nous, particularly in the bigger matches, his league record stands up to scrutiny.
By hook and by crook, the former Barca midfielder is getting results, and whilst a series of single goal wins won’t please the purists, three points is three points.
The performances will come.
For now it’s only about getting as many points as possible on the board - and as quickly as practicable.
