VIDEO: Xavi at breaking point! Barcelona boss angrily punches his seat after Granada capitalise on static defending to equalise in crucial La Liga clash

<p>Lamine Yamal put Barca ahead after just 14 minutes in the La Liga clash, and Xavi's men dominated possession thereafter, albeit while struggling to create any further clear chances. They were eventually made to pay for a lack of cutting edge when Ricard Sanchez capitalised on some static defending to turn home a brilliant first-time volley, and Xavi couldn't contain his frustration in the dugout.</p>

WATCH THE CLIP

<p>Xavi announced his decision to step down as Barcelona manager at the end of the season after his team's 5-3 defeat to Villarreal last month. He also described coaching the reigning <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-next-boss-thiago-motta-jurgen-klopp-contenders-succeed-xavi/blt65809eab75d128ef" target="_blank">La Liga champions as "cruel and unpleasant"</a> amid persistent criticism of his tactics and selections, with his impressive first full season in charge now a distant memory as the Blaugrana scramble for consistency.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Barca have already begun to search for Xavi's successor, with Bayer Leverkusen's Xabi Alonso among those reportedly in the frame, but the Spaniard is clearly still struggling with the stress of the job. His team are already way behind Real Madrid in the La Liga title picture this season and suffered a quarter-final exit in the Copa del Rey, which leaves the Champions League as their only route to a trophy left.</p>
