Xavi Hernandez is the third Barcelona Manager after Ferdinand Daučík in 1951 (7-2 Les Corts Stadium) and Helenio Herrera in 1959 (4-0 Camp Nou) to win his first El Clasico match by four-plus goals, The Informant247 reports.
Barcelona humiliated their arch-rival Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeau defeating the league leader 4 goals to nil with a dominant performance.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s brace and goals from Ronald Araujo and Ferran Torres were all the Catalans needed to leave the capital city with their head high.
The feat is another boost for Barcelona and perhaps a great pointer to their resurgence under the tutelage of their legend, Xavi Hernandez as a Coach.
Xavi who has now recorded 8 wins in 10 games in charge of the Barcelona giants is the first person in football’s history to win in the Santiago Bernabéu by 4+ goals as a player (2-6 in 2009) and as a coach (0-4 in 2022).
Barcelona currently sits third on the Laliga log with 54 points, three points behind Second-placed Sevilla and 12 points behind Real Madrid.
