The Barça It has gone back to zero, this time in the league game against Betis. It is the second time with Xavi Hernandez on the bench and seventh in the total of 20 games, four in the League and three in the Champions League, a worrying 35%. You have to go back many seasons to find a similar precedent. The goal problem is evident from the start of the season and Xavi he has inherited it.

The Barça he has been left without scoring in the league on five occasions. It is a problem that comes from afar. The first time was in the field of Cádiz (0-0). Two games later the same thing happened again against Atlético (2-0). Nor on the day of Rayo (1-0), which meant the dismissal of Koeman. This time, the first time at the Camp Nou in a loss to Betis (0-1).

In the last three home games of this new stage Xavi, two to zero and a single goal, which served to defeat Espanyol. The Barça coach will have to rebuild a team that has yet to be done when he has already been a third of the season. And now it’s time to travel to Munich.
