Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez has been left furious by the worst week of his Camp Nou managerial rein with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang enduring his toughest stint since joining the club.

Last week, the club's European hopes were ended for the campaign as they crashed to defeat at home to Eintracht Frankfurt. It was a humbling night for the Blaugrana, for whom the situation went from bad to worse three days later as they slipped to a home defeat against relegation-threatened Cadiz in La Liga.

These games were particularly damning for Aubameyang, who was largely anonymous over both legs of the Europa League clash against Frankfurt. The Gabonese striker was ineffectual during the first leg 1-1 draw in Germany and was hauled off just after the hour mark at the Camp Nou – a damning move with the side chasing two goals at that stage.

That was a clear indication that Xavi did not believe the former Arsenal striker was among his side’s best options for finding the net, despite his status at the club. That decision was somewhat justified by Barca carrying a significantly bigger goal threat in the final third of that game – albeit they were chasing goals – and did eventually find the net twice.

Xavi showed no signs that he regretted the decision to take out Aubameyang
