Xavi’s Formation Dilemma: 3-5-2 or 4-3-3?

Throughout this season, Xavi has been experimenting with different formations, primarily oscillating between the 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 setups.

Both formations come with their own set of advantages and drawbacks. Opting for three at the back bolsters Barcelona’s defensive solidity but may limit their creative options.

Conversely, deploying the 4-3-3 formation enhances creativity but leaves the team more susceptible to counter-attacking opponents.
