Barcelona repeated their heavy results this season under the leadership of their new coach and former star Xavi Hernandez, after winning against their rival Real Madrid 4-0 in the Spanish league Clásico. Barcelona defeated their host Real Madrid with four unanswered goals, thanks to a brace from Gabonese player Aubameyang, and goals from Uruguayan Araújo and Ferran Torres. This four-goal victory marks the sixth for the Catalan team in a month and a half since Xavi Hernandez took over after leaving Al-Sadd SC in Qatar.
Xavi took the reins of his former team last November and has led them in 25 matches across various competitions, including La Liga, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, and the Spanish Super Cup. The team has recorded 14 wins, 7 draws, and 4 losses, the last of which was in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey against Athletic Bilbao last January.
Xavi opened his tally of "four-goals" with a 4-2 victory against Atlético Madrid in matchday 23, followed by another heavy result against Valencia away from home with a 4-1 win. The team also scored four goals against Napoli on their turf at the "Diego Armando Maradona" Stadium in the second leg of the Europa League Round of 32.
Barcelona achieved their third consecutive four-goal match when they returned from Italy and hosted Athletic Bilbao at "Camp Nou" in matchday 26, winning 4-0, and shortly after, they netted another four-goal victory against Osasuna at the same venue.
