In today's episode, Barcelona suffered a lackluster performance, losing to Almeria, which Xavi labeled as the team's worst of the season. Despite having over 70% of the ball, they lacked intensity, passion, and a game plan, only managing one shot on target. Barcelona's attack is a concern, with several players not performing, and they resorted to an unsuccessful tactic of firing crosses into the box. Xavi needs to find solutions to win all types of games, and his poor performance cannot be justified.
