Xavi Hernández

[FinBarcelonafan]

Did well to get second but dont need to overplay the squad of Real and Atletico to make a point.

Real are better but not by all that much and Atletico dont have a better squad.

Team got consistent results and that in La Liga would always run up table as few teams can do it.

Could have done better in CL, Spanish Cup and in Europa and lost fair bit of money on those v inferior sides.

The way team is playing will have to improve a lot for next season.

Look at their success in Europe. Atletico and Real are still way better than us. Our team fits fine to LaLiga but gets owned in Europe. Their quality of lineup and squad is way better for Europe = meaning better.

Real beat City and Atletico had great chance.

Real are not massively ahead as a squad and Atletico beat who Man Utd?

Atletico dont have a better squad. Real do but not as massively as made out.

Barca fail to get through and doing poor in Europa is used as argument for Xavi to show others who go further have better squad. Just twisting things to suit pre conceived idea.

Man for Man Atletico dont have better squad. No chance.

Madrid are two levels ahead. Starting with Courtois who is best keeper in the world and ending with Benzema who is best 9 in the world.

Idiotic take.

We have a terrorist in goal and an Arsenal reject as a striker. Plus a winger who scores fewer goals than Alba and Busi.

Give me some of what you are smoking.

Nah they arent. They are better but not by that much.

Atletico are not better squad. Idotic take.

In love with Courtois when he concedes 5 over two legs and concedes 3 goals would scold others for then make out any save is exceptional. But yes he is better than MATS.

Xavi has the 'talent' of Puig you swoon over barely able to get a game. Must be some squad!

I am shocked to see we had "the best" defense with Garcia, broken Dest, broken Pique, Araujo, old Alves and mentally broken goalkeeper. Insane achievement actually.

We did that because Xavi sets the team well in defense. Remember defending in 10 men vs Atletico and them not getting much if any chances?

Xavi sets up a good conservative defense. Similar to EV. That is one of his qualities no doubt. His weakness so far is wingers positioning by far. Very old school and on the conservative side.

We have a striker averaging a goal every 90 minutes and a winger who is LL's top assister despite only playing half a season.

Just matters which perspective you see it.

'Arsenal reject' who scored a lot of goals in better league and they let go as he fell out with Arteta and was on huge wages.

Usual Serghie nonsense.

He is second best striker in the league probably.

'Terrorist in goals' when he actually made a number of saves to win Xavi points also.

There is only one perspective. Benzema and Vinicius shit on our forwards and wingers.

Aubameyang and Dembele are decent to good, on par with players like Carrasco and Correa, just not near those Madrid players who are superstars at the moment.

Absolute nonsense.

Auba and Dembele are better than Carrasco and Correa stop spouting absolute shite.

With JamDav on this one. Gap isn't that big. Most of the posters here thought we were the best team in Spain during our mini run and the Real win.

Now we're levels behind Atleti and Madrid.

But I will say, the Summer markets will dictate how far behind Real we will fall. On paper we can't come close to the Mbappe signing.

Says the guy who a while ago was saying Sevilla is 2nd best team in the league.

You do more flip flops than Simone Biles.

Show one post where I claimed Sevilla have better squad than Barca.

Nice try.

From the man with the list of worst takes going.
