How Barcelona are building a midfield dynasty (again)

It’s a new era at Barcelona, and the expectation is exceptionally high. Like the legendary teams of old, can this new crop of players go on to make history? Are we witnessing the start of a new dynasty?

In this in-depth analysis, I take a forensic look at the structure of Barcelona’s new midfield, the roles that exist in Xavi’s system, and how these players are beginning to find balance.

I hope you enjoy!
