Xavi Hernández knows that when finalising the season will not be still in the bench of the FC Barcelona, but in spite of this wants to leave with the best possible image, so much by his valuable title of League achieved the previous course, as what can do finally in the current, where keeps to 8 points of the led. But to the margin to be able to recortar his distance with the Real Madrid and avoid that the whites win the title with relative tranquility, the egarense also is in position to go out of the Barcelona club with a record that right now have Pep Guardiola and Ernesto Valverde.
And it is that so much the technician of the Manchester City, as the one who will be his rival of this next day in Saint Mamés, are the only trainers of the Barça that only have yielded a defeat like visitor in all a League. Pep achieved it in the campaign 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. In the first case, the first fall arrived in the day 22, when it fell in front of the Athletic (2-1). The second, in the day 34 and the Barcelona fell (2-1) in Anoeta in front of the Real Sociedad.
Xavi can remain with a very interesting record
By his part, Valverde lengthened the series until the day 37, the last that the culés played went in that season 2017/2018, The Raise finished winning (5-4) in the Ciutat of Valencia and avoided that the Basque trainer closed that League without knowing the defeat out of the Camp Nou. Now, the Barça of Xavi has a balance of 7 victories and 5 ties in the 12 duels that has contested to domicile, chaining besides four parties followed winning: The Palms, Betis, Alavés and Celtic.
It is thus that this Sunday in Saint Mamés (21:00), Xavi can arrive the fifth and besides keep this illusion to surpass, or at least equalise, the done by Guardiola and Valverde in the bench culé. With this register remains clear that one of the best virtues of the Barça of Xavi this season is his provision like visitor Ties, adding besides in Europe to Bayer Leverkusen, Inter of Milan and PSG like the others of the big leagues that neither have fallen far of his field.
The Barça still will have other three very complicated visits
But further of these good feelings and of now have to bump in front of the inspired Athletic and his recent classification to the final of the Glass of Rey, Xavi besides has to still the trips with his players to measure to Girona, Real Madrid and Athletic, the others three teams with which shares the Top 4 of the classification. To this will add also that the last duel of the season will be in the field of the Seville, an always complicated stage and that besides could find to the ones of Nervión struggling still by his permanence in First.
