As we reach the international break, Barcelona’s first team begins a new era with club legend Xavi Hernández taking over as head coach. Xavi has a big job ahead of him to return the Blaugrana to the glory years that he was part of, and he might have some really good tools to work with at Barça B.
The B-team is currently enjoying of a five-game unbeaten streak and has reached a playoff spot for the first time all season in the Third Division thanks to a brilliant 4-0 win against Sevilla Atlético last Saturday. After a slow start to the campaign the young Blaugrana are finding their footing and starting to look like real promotion contenders, with 19 points from the first 11 games, 14 goals scored and just eight conceded.
