Why Barcelona Hopes Super Cup Win is Turning Point?
With a big victory over its main rival on Sunday, Barcelona got back to celebrating and to feeling good about its future again
The 3-1 win against Real Madrid in the final of the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia gave Barcelona its first trophy since it was hit by financial problems and saw Lionel Messi leave in 2021
“Hopefully this will be a turning point,” Barcelona coach Xavi said “This can give us some tranquility going forward”
Xavi, the former midfield star who helped Barcelona win a slew of trophies as a player, had yet to win a title since taking over as coach not long after the crisis erupted in 2021
He was part of the revamping process undertaken by the Catalan club to try to overcome its financial problems and the poor management by former club officials
Barcelona’s last title came in the 2021 Copa del Rey under former coach Ronald Koeman
That was Messi’s 35th and final title with Barcelona before he left for Paris Saint-Germain in a tough blow for Barcelona and its fans
