With a 4-3-3 formation and short passes he finally won his first win as coach of El Barca, although the victory was earned with difficulty, one Barca goal was obtained from the penalty spot through Memphis Depay's strike.

Steven Gerrard also made his debut with a sweet, where Aston Villa managed to beat Brighton Albion with a score of 2-0 in the Premier League 20/11/2021. But the win was also hard-earned, with two goals from Ollie Watkins and Tyrone Mings coming within six minutes of the game.
