Xavi completes best ever away start for a manager

The 1-0 win in Mallorca was a good one for so many different reasons, one of which is that Xavi Hernández has become the first ever manager to get through his first 18 away fixtures without a single defeat, beating the record set by Zinedine Zidane after he took over at Real Madrid in 2016.

With 13 wins and five draws since his first road trip after replacing Ronald Koeman, a 3-1 win in Villarreal, Barça have been simply unstoppable on their Liga travels.
