Barcelona coach Xavi picks up unwanted Champions League record after Antwerp defeat

Barcelona coach Xavi picked up an unwanted record on Wednesday after seeing his team beaten 3-2 by Antwerp in the Champions League.

The Catalans had already qualified for the last 16, and still go through as group winners, but it’s still an embarrassing defeat for Xavi and his men.

The result also means that Xavi has hit the most Champions League defeats for Barcelona in the quickest time.

He now has six defeats in 14 games, at a worse rate that Luis Enrique (6 in 33) and Pep Guardiola (6 in 52 games).

Xavi has become the Spanish coach with the most defeats in Barcelona's #UCL history:

- Xavi: 6 defeats in 14 games (43%)
- Luis Enrique: 6 defeats in 33 (18%)
- Pep Guardiola: 6 defeats in 52 games (12%) (via @LaLigaenDirecto) pic.
