He is one of the greatest minds in football.

He took a relegation side to champions league spot in a year and a team to its first UCL semi's in their first UCL campaign. The man is a certified genius .

Bayern have the best team in the world...even the same Nagelsmann said in that defeat and draws "we are playing good, we just need better finishing" in 4 games Bayern took 90 shots on goal and barely scored.... He said be patient, and now the results are on the table

And when you realise they have Pavard, Hernandez , Stanisic and Sarr as Defence backups 😯

@@Anirudhchauhanzx Sarr there 🤡

@@Anirudhchauhanzx Lucas Hernandez isn´t a backup though. He´s just injured. In the first game against Barcelona he played and absolutely pocketed Lewandowski with Upa as well. It´s gonna be hard to choose two from Upa, De Ligt and Lucas. Pavard and Mazraoui is also a though one to choose from.

@@tobiasmahler1996 I know bro but yesterday current defence looked very strong and the chemistry was amazing...

Copy and paste from Sandro Wagner 😄

Well, to be fair, there are not many ways to beat bayern from the táctics board. At the end, individual quality comes in and makes difference against any ream no matter what the strategy is. Inter tryied with a low block and it didn't work neither

@@diegocervantes2452 pure facts, so much individual talents in their squad

@@diegocervantes2452 the thing is barca players quality arent that different than bayern. Inter failed but it is not as bad as how barca failed. All that stars in front n midfield still failed to have even 1 shot on target. Clearly it is more than just about individual skill. Xavi failed big time

Not just mentality, actually there are wrong tactics galore in recent years when Barca facing Bayern. Best example, this match and CL 2020 when Flick in charge. This one is a lot more worse, I mean why on bloody earth start Marcos Alonso at CB!?

This is what I call a serious Football KZfaq channel

Lol

@@diegocervantes2452 Nah, he has really only analysed a few situations and moments from the game. By and large, the more I see his analysis videos I feel that this channel is less and less reliable. If you really want to understand what happened, you should see the football purist on KZfaq. Whatever he pointed out was actually corresponding with what I saw in the game. FMS makes it seem like Bayern had a ready solution to get the ball out everytime, when in fact is was more of a percentage tactic. They knew Barca's press was dangerous, they knew their tactic wouldn't work everytime but if you do it enough it would create just enough situations for quality players to get a goal. Defensively their press wasn't really aggressive, they only pressed when the ball went out wide or in midfield and our left backs struggled because of that. But through the use of De Jong we beat their first press a lot of times. The problem was that as soon as we got the ball into dangerous areas the utilisation and decision making by players was really poor. Also, in order to create chances from width as Barcelona try to do, you need to have fluidity with your Interiors, winger and wingback, and Kessie and Bellerin simply didn't do that well enough leaving the only chance creation being through Dembele taking on Davies one on one. But the thing is, that worked too, Barcelona had plenty of occassions when they could have been threatening but they just didn't make good decisions or good passes. And when the situation was not good, they got nervous and hurried the passes. The problem is less with Xavi's tactics and more about them getting across to the players. The players are not able to execute the tactics well enough and the decision making is very poor - which could indicate nervousness, lack of mentality, overall lack of quality, poor form - just about anything. Xavi's role as a coach now has to be from Tactical mastermind to also man management and ensuring the players actually perform well when the tactics put them in a good situation. Otherwise tactically you create advantages and the players just keep wasting them away (think man city last season)

@@kgarodiya exactly FMS analysing didnt give viewers a full description of the game, they made it seem as if xavi was a dumy and played right into the tactical genius nagelsmann s plans, when in reality if barcas lack of quality and descision making in the final third wasnt so bad , bayern could have had some goals scored on them, watch the football purist man is so good at analysis

@@diegocervantes2452 can you call a serious football channel to a guy who said Bayern was not very good in the group stage? Lol

@Giwrgos Petrou bayern is the highest scoring team in europe this season. Cant ask for much more of the attack

xavi is just overrated

You are not a Bayern fan

Who would u play at cb then Eric garcia?

So, you are saying that you would have use Pique or Eric García instead?

@@meshackwaugh1969 garcia is an actual cb alonso is not.

@@jordyj4126 and what has that looked like for Barcelona? Garcia (as did out of favor Pique) cost the team goals. Xavi opted to play a more experienced player and it just didn’t work out

Makes it look and feel as though Xaxy is clueless. He deserved that whooping from bayern for the choice of players and style of play on this match

more like stubborn attitude

@@solaimanwahab5286 Both

@@paperlungs6867 yeah... It's never his fault... And in every big match makes an "experiment" that never works... But he is protected by his game "philosophy".

How is that his fault, just know that Bayern 3 goals were the players not actually good enough expecially CB, for you guys it's always the coaches fault which is not fair. He actually doesn't have any options because his CBs are injured and the people he played were not good enough for the task

@@saiscrypto9520 if you say this then you don’t know anything about football. Bayern is a team that you can’t defend against 90 minutes and that’s the truth you guys don’t want to hear and say , you the opponent you have to find a tactic that will punish them more and also help you take your small chances you get and that was how Unai Emery beat them with Villareal last season. Good coaches approach big games with tactics that can favor them. We haas a recognized number 9 and in the game against Bayern we didn’t play any shot on target and you are here telling me what has he done.

Pedri was on the left only in paper.

@@grzegorzgorzkowski9199 in the pitch he was ST?

@@adiatrahman7218 He was CAM in possesion. Xavi put him in LW to Press Bayern cb because pedri is pressing machine.

He's inexperienced

Busquets, Roberto, Alba, Alonso are garbage and yet xavy plays them as if they are going to win anything with these POS. He deserves to lose every game he plays these bum already-done players. He deserves to lose by 3, 4 or 7 goal margins...

@@audemars_piguet13 he played Alonso as CB 😀 who cant even play a LB.

Transitional period for the Spanish teams. They were on the top for so long, now time for a rebuild at Barca (get Busi, Pique out) and potentially Atleti (I doubt it, but they may sell Felix and invest in willing runners like Valverde).

@@omarbabakarkhail Maybe not Valverde since he plays for Real

@@Alelikesbale and also is a crucial part of our team. Got a contract till 2028, I presume. He's untouchable.

Barça have XG 0,5 and 7 shot blocked.

I mean the Spanish has been dominated by Real and Barca for a while.

What could he even do in defense man??? Araujo, Christensen 2 solid CBs and Roberto who is still better than Bellerin are injured. Eric Garcia was shit defensively against inter.

Don't look at the field only, if you got eyes look at the bench, why don't you go play as a CB then

The big teams feel pressure when they face Bayern because Bayern is one of those few teams who batter big teams relatively consistently. The mid teams, being underdogs, don't really feel the same mental pressure.

As a Bayern fan, I agree. We better not get Sporting or Benfica in the next rounds. We need Spurs to get 2nd place on their group

@@kukunase1686we won

Which makes the injuries costly to Xavi more than usual.

Well done, you are the only person who saw it that way.

Word up. The players football is not enough for the tactics Xavy is proposing. Some starting players were missing but the bench should and have to step up in order for barcelona to be a world class team again.

Theyre still stuck with the idea that tikitaka will bring them success. Van gaal ancelotti mourinho jupp already destroyed their philosophy. They wanted ernesto valverde out even though he was very successful domestically. Barca keeps buying players for the sake of buying players who d fit their "tikitaka". I still laugh at how that fanbase wanted Quique Setien so badly because it reminded them of Cruyff/Pep football and it d bring Barca back to glory. 😂😂 ridiculous club

@@shkathubre their player even not understand how to playing tiki taka. tiki taka stiil gonna relevant if the player at a team using it understand how play it

@@shkathubre Jupp Beat Barca in 2013 because Tito not playing counter press with agrresive like Pep before,Mourinho beat them cause Barca stupid buying player like Zlatan a player not fit with their tactic. tiki taka never being problem for them cause this tactic is using in a long time ago and basically this one of modern football tactic

@@kanthiningsih6637 bro tikitaka has been figured out long time ago plz stop making excuses. Have you seen how intense and faster football has become? Even Pep, who won the sextuple and quintle with barca in 2009 and 2011 thanks to that philosophy, since the demolition of Bayern by Ancelotti in 2014 and Spain from Netherlands in WC, he stopped using it and started to adapt since 2014-15 seasson. Then from 2015-16 season (last season at Bayern) up until he joined ManCity he fully has distanced from TikiTaka. Lmao he even plays with a typical number 9 now, which was not the case before at Barca.

@@shkathubre i'm gonna still think Tika Taka can still being used in this era cause in Barca case their like throwing this team being rubbish team with their own hand it just simple their change all stuff which bring them to glory if you know Barca already facing problem like this in late 90s and early 2000s so it's not being something shocked to me now what their need to do is they should bring back tiki taka in all age their football team and bring player who can playing under pressure in all position

even a casual fan like me knew barca was fooked when i saw pedri at lw

haha yea that was the biggest joke

Dest is shit, Bellerin is way better than him

Dest was actually not really that good last season.

Luis Rubiales must be critical in Barca team selection. No other reason...

Barca should have spend those 150m wisely. Adding an another 50m to it and they might have been able to buy Davies.

We deserve this defeat. No excuses

I think Kessie is the only option to play if Xavi plans to use 4 midfielders since Gavi was injured, it's not good to risk him to start in intense game. And for CB, 2 out of 5 CBs injured, and the remainings are Eric Garcia and Pique. After recent disasters, I think it would be normal for Xavi to show less confidence in them. So for defense line, Xavi quite out of options. But I would like to see Xavi solve this in creative and effective methods, sadly he hasn't found the solution yet. hope things gets better after the world cup.

Forget Dembele Xavi is the problem. When u play Alonso, Busket, Garcia or Bellarin who are always below average you can’t win.

I think tuhel is good for barca

Bro I am Madrid fan but dembele is difficult to pocket his pace acceleration agility is another level

nah, raphinha's 1v1 ability is trash against good defenders which i have seen so far, he cant pass davies to save his life

@@midfielderparadisematchhig5785 lol I think you are just watching only Barca's matches. Watch leads united in last season, and matches of Brazil as well, then you can understand Xavi cannot use Rapinha. Xavi is a dembele fan that's why Dembele has more priority in the team. Xavi said Dmbele is better than Neymar. Where is he now. Neymar scored 10 goals and 8 assist in this season . Barcelona is a bad team somehow Xavi's tactics not working. That's why they out from UCL.
