Xavi’s 100th game as Barça coach was the worst of the season, but ended with a necessary victory in Do Dragao; an overview of their grades.
Xavi Hernández played 100 games in charge of FC Barcelona, with the Catalan coach taking the three points on the second day of the Champions League group stage at the home of FC Porto. A goal from Ferran Torres and several saves from Ter Stegen brightened up the coach’s centenary celebrations.
Less than two years ago, Xavi made his debut as Barça coach. He did it on November 20, 2021 in a Catalan derby against Espanyol which ended with his team winning by the smallest margin. The former midfielder arrived to change the face of Barça, which was ninth in LaLiga after the first thirteen days.
Xavi’s numbers after his first 100 games for Barcelona: wins, draws, losses, titles and top scorer
In terms of numbers, Xavi achieved 63 wins, 18 draws and 19 losses in his first 100 games as Barcelona coach, with a balance of 191 goals for and 95 against. In terms of titles, Barça managed to conquer the Spanish Super Cup and the League in the 2022-2023 season.
For that competitive conquest, the star signing of that campaign for Barcelona, the Pole Robert Lewandowski, proved fundamental. The attacker has scored 39 goals so far with Xavi on the bench and is the top scorer in his cycle. Behind ‘Lewy’ appear the 18 goals of Ferran Torres and the 13 of Pedri and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Former Real Madrid player Karim Benzema is the player who has scored the most goals for Xavi’s teams in this period with 6 goals.
Real Madrid is exactly the team Xavi has played the most against since joining the Catalans’ bench. In total there have been seven matches, with a balance of four wins and three triumphs. With six matches, Betis is the second team in this classification and is also the team that has scored the most goals from Xavi’s team (15).
