Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez showed tough love in a no-holds-barred halftime speech during the team’s 3-2 win over Almeria. Xavi was highly critical of his players’ attitude and made strong actions by withdrawing Joao Felix and Andreas Christensen at halftime. President Joan Laporta may not be happy with Xavi’s actions, but the manager made it clear that no player is exempt from criticism, including star striker Robert Lewandowski. Xavi’s tough love seemed to have an effect, as Lewandowski improved dramatically in the second half and provided a brilliant assist for Sergi Roberto’s match-winning goal.
