Jude Bellingham’s Real Madrid aren’t the only team upstaging the mighty Barcelona this season...
The Catalans are already nine points behind league leaders Girona - and the goals have dried up for star striker Robert Lewandowski too.
So, is Xavi on borrowed time in the dugout. Why is Barca president Joan Laporta interfering in team selection?
