The Blaugranas scuttled themselves. Despite their three-goal lead at half-time, the men of Sergi Barjuan, who was living his last game on


Xavi has work to do.

While the now new FC Barcelona coach puts his bags in Catalonia, his team could not do better than a draw, 3-3, against Celta Vigo this Saturday.

Imperials in the first period, the Blaugranas then completely lost the thread of the meeting.

As often, the solution came from the striker trained at Masia, Ansu Fati, who took the opportunity to score his third goal of the season.

Barca then unrolled, Sergio Busquets and then the inevitable Memphis Depay made the score worse in the first half.

Back from the locker room, Celta Vigo rebelled, then logically returned to the score at the very last second, thanks to Nolito and the double from striker Iago Aspas.

At the kickoff, Sergi Barjuan had made the bet of the formation by starting 6 players from the Masia.

A choice that has paid off and on which Xavi will be able to rely.

The rise of Gavi and Nico Gonzalez, while Pedri is currently injured, suggests great promises for the rest of the season.

On the other hand, the defensive sector did not reassure.

Gérard Piqué injured, no player seems to be able to take over.

Sergi Barjuan decided to line up the Lenglet-Eric Garcia duo, still disappointing.

While Xavi wants to be ambitious in Catalonia, the legend of the club will have to find the words to cure a sick workforce since the departure of Lionel Messi.

Ansu Fati injured again

A draw with a taste of defeat and a jam-packed infirmary, the bad news is accumulating on the side of Catalonia. Ansu Fati, barely recovered from a serious knee injury, will miss several weeks of competition. The number 10 felt muscle discomfort and had to give way before half-time. The physical glitches followed one another. Defender Eric Garcia and then young Nico Gonzalez left their teammates prematurely. The international break is therefore timely for Xavi, who also has to deal with the long absence of Argentine striker Sergio Aguero, victim of a cardiac arrhythmia and French international Ousmane Dembélé, again injured after the Champions League match. against Dynamo Kiev.

The challenge is enormous for Xavi: to revive a team which is currently vegetating in the middle of the table in the league and which does not seem to revolt.

On Instagram, the man with 767 matches with FC Barcelona explained that he wanted to put the requirement back at the center of the project.

A virtue lost by the Catalan club.
