Former Barcelona footballer Alexander Hleb called the Catalans’ confident victory in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid (3:1).
– Barcelona very confidently defeated Real Madrid in the Super Cup final, they didn’t give a chance. Xavi is a genius, as a player he was a genius and as a coach, I have no doubt. In the past El Clasico, it seemed to me that midfield and attack did not function, they did not use the best qualities of Lewandowski. We kept the ball in the center, approached the goal, but it was not very good in the final stage. But now Gavi scored two goals, with Lewandowski looked great. The team has great potential to grow further, there are many young players.
Xavi has a lot of work to bring the team to the ideal, it just took time for the young players to gain experience. The next season, I think, will be even better,” Gleb told Metaratings.ru.
Xavi played for Barcelona from 1998 to 2015. On account of the ex-player 767 matches, 85 goals and 184 assists. The Spaniard became the head coach of the Catalan club in November 2021.
