In 45 minutes, Barcelona went from illusion to concern. The three goals that made them smile were diluted with another three that were a serious blow to the Catalan motivation. After going to the break with a 3-0 lead, Barza let Celta draw 3-3 in the League. This Monday Xavi Hernández assumes and has a lot to work on.

Xavi arrived in Barcelona this Friday while the culé team was in Vigo facing Celta in a match where they were forced to win, already with the peace of mind of having a designated coach. However, they squandered a clear advantage against the Galicians who gave their all in the second half.

This start of the season has not had anything good for the culé team. The bad results can have an explanation in an eleven without great figures and therefore, diminished by injuries and casualties that do not allow an eleven to be consolidated.

In addition to Ansu Fati, the central Eric García - soleus of the right leg - and Nico González were also injured. Three casualties in addition to those already suffered by Barza. In the victory over Dinamo Kiev "lost" Dembelé, who had just reappeared. Neither are Piqué, Sergi Roberto, Dest, Pedri available, while Martín Braithwaite still has two months out due to a knee injury and Sergio Agüero for three months due to a heart problem.

In this context, the brand new coach, and idol of Barcelona, will have the hard task of having to accommodate a team that is already beaten in terms of results, and now has a whole team injured. That is why Xavi Hernández will be obliged to take players from Barcelona B, and take them to the first team.
