Xavi Hernandez He chose his first eleven for Barça on November 20, 2021, in the match against Spanish. That meeting had to regret six absences, all of them due to injury: Ansu, Braithwaite, Dembélé, Dest, Kun and Pedri. Since then, the coach has been conditioned by many circumstances, especially absences due to injury and some due to suspension.
During this time, Xavi has directed the Barca in 35 games (24 in LaLiga, 2 in the Champions League, 6 in the Europa League, 2 in the Cup and one in the Spanish Super Cup) and has maintained two very different groups. On the one hand, the players he has and have made headlines (Ter Stegen, Alba, Busquets, Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, Piqué, Eric, Gavi, Dembélé, Pedri, Memphis, Nico and Dest) including three of the four winter signings (Aubameyang, Ferran and Alves) and on the other, the substitutes with little or little impact on the team due to injuries (Ansu) or confidence, with the exception of a few specific cases (Luuk), who has been able to take advantage of the few minutes he has had.
