Xavi searching for first win against Granada before stepping down at Barcelona

Barcelona play host to Granada in La Liga on Sunday in a match that sees Xavi come up against a team he is yet to beat as manager.

The Catalans have a poor recent record against the Andalusians. They have failed to win any of their last four matches against the Nazaríes in Spain’s top flight.

Indeed Xavi has never tasted victory against Granada. Of course he’s only actually faced Granada twice as manager but has drawn both games.

Barca actually needed an 85th minute equaliser from Sergi Roberto to grab a point in the away fixture earlier this season, with Xavi grumbling afterwards his team deserved the win.
