Barcelona suffered a 3-1 defeat at rivals Real Madrid on Sunday in their 50th game under Javi Hernandez. The 42-year-old technician has the weakest result among the last eight coaches who have reached this level on the bench of the Blaugrana reserve group, writes EFE.

Xavi has the worst record among the last eight FC Barcelona coaches.

Xavi has 11 losses, 11 draws and 28 wins since taking over at Barca in November 2021. Thus, he scored 95 points out of a possible 150, a percentage of 63.3% and worse than Frank Rijkaard (64%), Ronald Koeman (70.7%), Tito Vilanova (77.3%), Ernesto Valverde (79.3%), Gerardo “Tata” Martino (79.3%), Pep Guardiola (79.3%) and Luis Enrique (86%).

Xavi has mitigating circumstances as he is the only one of the eight managers to have taken over at Barca midway through a season when the team was in decline that he had no part in building. For him, the balance of matches last season was 20 wins, 9 draws and 8 losses, scoring 69 points out of 108 possible (63.9% percentage).

After president Juan Laporta was able to bring almost all the necessary players to Xavi thanks to the activation of the so-called economic “leverages”, the current season began with 8 wins, 2 draws (Rayo Vallecano and Inter) and 3 defeats (Bavaria, ” Inter” and “Real”. This means that Xavi scored 26 points out of a possible 39, which is 66.7%, slightly more than last season.

The problem is that the defeats occurred in the three most important matches, so Barca is very close to being eliminated from the Champions League after the group stage and lost first place in La Liga, writes Agerpres.

In addition, these poor results were accompanied by a lower quality of play, a lack of clear ideas in attack and serious errors in defense in each of the games that ended in an undesirable result.

Xavi found the culprit in the defeat of “Barcelona” in “El Clasico” against “Real”.

The record of the last eight coaches to reach 50 games for Barca:

1. Luis Enrique: 42 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses, 129 points (86% of possible points)

2. Pep Guardiola: 37 wins, 8 draws, 5 losses, 119 points (79.3%)

3. Gerardo “Tata” Martino: 37 wins, 8 draws, 5 losses, 119 points (79.3%)

4. Ernesto Valverde: 36 wins, 11 draws, 3 losses, 119 points (79.3%).

5. Francesk “Tito” Vilanova: 36 wins, 8 draws, 6 losses, 116 points (77.3%).

6. Ronald Koeman: 33 wins, 7 draws, 10 losses, 106 points (70.7%).

7. Frank Rijkaard: 28 wins, 12 draws, 10 losses, 96 points (64%).

8. Javi Hernandez: 28 wins, 11 draws, 11 losses, 95 points (63.3%).
