Rivaldo says Xavi can ‘get close to what Guardiola achieved’ at Barcelona

Barcelona manager Xavi is on the brink of the league title in his first full season at Barcelona since taking over as head coach.

The Catalans have been the best team in Spain but have struggled in the Champions League once again this season.

Former Barcelona forward Rivaldo has been talking about the team’s campaign and has been impressed by Xav and thinks he can go on to achieve more success at the club.

“Barcelona manager Xavi should be lauded for the job he has done in this troubled phase of the club, and it just shows his quality, as it is not easy to work with all this noise around the club,” he said.
