Xavi Hernandez continued his dominant record against Diego Simeone after thrashing them at the Civitas Metropolitano stadium by 3 goals to nil on the 29th week of the La Liga 2023–24 season.

Goals from Joao Felix, Robert Lewandowski, and Fermin Lopez were enough for Barcelona to go 2nd on the league table, pushing Girona to third place.

Atletico Madrid, for the record, have been unbeaten at home since January 2023. To be more precise, the team led by Diego Simeone has gone 25 matches unbeaten in their own turf.

The last time they lost at the Civitas Metropolitano was against Barcelona on January 28th, 2023, courtesy of Dembele's 22nd-minute strike, which helped the Catalan giant clinch all three points.

The result ended similarly as it did a little over a year ago, with the Blaugrana coming on top once more. This win makes it 5/5 for Xavi Hernandez's Barcelona over the Atletico Madrid manager, Diego Simeone. 

Xavi Hernandez vs. Diego Simeone Head-to-Head

Since the former Barcelona player assumed the reins of the team's bench in November 2021, he has continued to saldado with the same result for the culés against Simeone's men: triumph.

Xavi and Simeone's first clash was in the league match played in the Spotify Camp Nou on February 20, 2022, in which Barca mauled Atletico by 4-2, thanks to Gavi, Alba, Araujo, and Dani Alves, who all scored to give Xavi the three important points that helped him win his first La Liga title as a manager.

Xavi's Barcelona since then have continued to run riot against Atletico Madrid, beating their Spanish capital-based rivals in all outings without them registering a goal in their last four meetings.

Xavi records 5/5 against Diego Simeone

Xavi Hernández announced that he is leaving the club on June 30, 2024. If he eventually leaves, it means he has successfully achieved a 100 percent win record against Diego Simeone, winning all five of their clashes as Barcelona manager.
