Xavi Keeps a Close Eye on Napoli During Barça-Mallorca Match

Barcelona’s coach, Xavi, has seamlessly balanced monitoring his team’s performance from the stands with keeping a live watch on Napoli’s match. The upcoming opponent for Barcelona is facing Torino simultaneously while the Blaugrana contend against Mallorca.

One of the few advantages of not being on the bench for Xavi is the ability to focus on more than just the Barcelona match. Despite dedicating his efforts to the Mallorca clash, having a monitor nearby displaying the Napoli match has allowed the Terrassa native to keep a watchful eye on his next adversary.

The challenges faced by Barcelona in overcoming Mallorca mirrored those of Napoli against Torino. Xavi mentioned that he would start thinking about the Champions League after the Mallorca game, but for a few minutes, the Egarense managed to juggle observing his team’s performance with tracking Napoli’s match, which ended in a 1-1 draw against Torino.

Toni Sanabria, a La Masia graduate, equalized with a stunning volley after Kvaratskhelia’s initial goal for Napoli. While primarily focused on his own team, Xavi found a moment to assess what Napoli brought to the table. Going forward, Xavi and his coaching staff will have the opportunity to thoroughly analyze the playing style of Calzona’s disciples.
