Every Barcelona fan is happy with how Xavi has managed to turn their worst season into an almost-perfect one. With this comeback win away in Levante, Xavi’s men maintain the second spot on the league log. In addition, they’ve kept the unbeaten record and winning streak intact. What is working for this young manager?

Xavi has succeeded in conditioning his team’s mindset. Do you remember his popular quoted interview? He said,”We are at Barça. Let me repeat it again — we cannot draw or lose games.” This is why they’d had several dramatic wins within his tenure more than any recent manager. Last-minute winners are due to the fact that he reads the game well and effects a tweak which knocks on opponents’ doors until the final whistle. No wonder a loss is gradually becoming improbable in Xavi’s Barcelona.

We continue to see new traits of the revolutionized Barca on per game basis. Only one thing is predictable about them and the Xavi Ball now: They never take a break.
