My first defender is the striker and the first attacker is the goalkeeper. You have to work tactically, know what to do on the field in different situations," these words from Xavi during his press conference bring back hopes in Barcelona fan who have suffered a lot in the past couple of years with the team’s performance. The new era has begun at Barcelona as the prodigal son returns home after six years in order to get things right at the Camp Nou. Barcelona have lost their authority in European football in the past few seasons after back-to-back failures in UEFA Champions League. The Catalan giants won their last UCL title back in 2014/15 which was also Xavi’s last season at Camp Nou. RECAP OF WHAT HAPPENED AFTER XAVI LEFT BARCELONA AS PLAYER Things have only gone worse for Barcelona each passing year after Xavi left the club. In 2017 Neymar Jr. left the club to join Paris Saint-Germain for a record 222 million euro transfer fees. The management under Josep Maria Bartomeu financially ruined the club by making some big-money signings to replace Neymar. Barcelona signed Ousamane Dembele, Phillipe Coutinho and Antoine Griezmann all above 100 million euro each. The financial condition crashed with Bartomeu in charge and the pressure was mounting on Lionel Messi to deliver on his own every season. The Argentine kept Barcelona at the highest level on his own for a couple of seasons but soon a below-average defensive unit and managerial blunders started costing the club at the big stage as they started losing their charm in the league.
