The lack of appreciation and always delegating all performance errors to Xavi does make this a little complicated if forced because after all the problems that occur now for Barcelona are quite complex and Xavi alone will not be able to make miracles by being able to maintain consistency, especially trophies in financial conditions that are always limited and less transfer players.

This could indeed be a fairly wise decision made by Xavi when talking about his future career, it's just that this is not very good for Barcelona because it could be that by leaving Xavi, Barcelona's condition will get worse when coached by people who are not too appropriate.
We take the example of the Koeman Era which actually made Barcelona feel the mid-table that Barcelona never felt in the middle of the season because of the chaos of performance and they should make Xavi comfortable because they managed to restore the lost performance but now I think the decision is unanimous even though there is a chance that Xavi might change his mind but we have to wait for what steps Laporta will take to make Barcelona comfortable again in the future.

I really agree with you, regarding Barcelona will remain in second place in the LaLiga standings. Looking from my perspective, Barcelona seems reluctant to compete for the Laliga Champion title, instead Barcelona is focusing on the Europa League and pampering players and the financial sector which currently has problems.  must be done by Barcelona Management in the coming season so that Barcelona's finances are not hampered by buying players with limited money, so there is no problem if Barcelona has to be satisfied with being in second place in Laliga because that is the right step taken by Barcelona and management, if forced  then it is very likely that Barcelona will go bankrupt with their limited money to buy players.

I agree with you, that no matter how bad they are, one of them will be in the semifinals and that is something that I think proves that they are the 8 best teams in the Champoins League this season. They have been successful in this round and managed to eliminate many of the teams competing with them. Although perhaps in terms of their chances of becoming champions, I don't think they are any bigger than the other teams in the quarter-finals.

But I don't agree with what you said that everyone has the same chance to reach the final. I actually also give them a chance to reach the final and even become champions, but their percentage of chance is not the same to achieve that. Would you give Manchester City and Paris Saint Germain the same percentage to reach the final? In my opinion, that's not right, because looking at their performance, Manchester City is better, so for me Manchester City has a bigger percentage than Paris Saint Germain.

Comparing Madrid and Barcelona at this time is certainly not an ethical thing, because after all, the current conditions of the two teams are very different, especially in terms of finance, Barcelona's ability to compete in La Liga has actually ended when they get financial problems that even reportedly Barcelona have to pay off debts that reach up to 500 million euros at this time,  And that's why if we compare Madrid and Barcelona today it's like earth and sky in my opinion.

I think Xavi's decision to leave Barcelona next season is the right decision after maybe he is not appreciated by the current management, Barcelona look too demanding even though they realize that their finances are very limited to be able to make the Barcelona squad better in the title race, now Xavi has managed to take Barcelona to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and with limited funds they budget So far, Xavi, of course, it has been quite a brilliant achievement and it may be very difficult if other coaches do like as Xavi is doing at Barcelona.

Fair enough because your judgement is based on the past 10 years, but come to think of it, how many trophies has Liverpool been able to achieve as to measure with Barcelona? Even in the past 10 years, FC Barcelona has won more trophies than Liverpool so I think you didn't make your research correctly.

When you say Barcelona achievement in the past 10 years looks childish I don't actually understand what you mean by that because if I start listing the various trophies they've achieved in the past 10 years, you would be marvelled because they are too many ranging from Champions league, la Liga, super cup, Copa del Rey, like it's plenty enough and Liverpool in the past 10 years haven't been able to achieve half of the milestone Barcelona have in the past 10 years. Every one is at liberty to choose any team they prefer but I tell you that there is no comparison between Barcelona and Liverpool.

Barcelona without doubt have been having financial crisis in recent years which has prevented them from making major signings at the club but that hasn't stopped Xavi Hernandez from delivering great performances at the club since he was appointed as the club manager. As recent as last season, he helped the club to win the Spanish La Liga title and have also been impressive this season as he's lead them to the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League competition as well making sure they stay in the second position of the league table. I've never read any report that suggests that Barcelona's management is putting any sort of pressure on their manager rather it's Xavi Hernandez that wants to leave the club at the  end of the current season. The problem at the club now is that should Xavi Hernandez leave the club at the end of the season, can they get a manager that'll replace him?that I think will be very difficult for them

Do you think Atletico/Dortmund's chances are worse than Barcelona's? I wonder why? Atlético and Dortmund are playing each other, which means that no matter how bad they are, one of this pair will be in the semi-finals. Barcelona is playing with PSG and it seems to me that its chances (against the backdrop of a poor game throughout the entire season) are less than those of Atletico/Dortmund.
The draw worked out in such a way that in one half we have all the favorites (Real, Arsenal, Bayern, City) and in the other all the outsiders (Dortmund, Atletico, PSG, Barcelona), so in fact everyone has approximately the same chances of reaching the final.

Real Madrid has better financial current condition than Barcelona after facing financial crisis more than last several season but Xavi Hernandez success won La Liga tittle last season. I agree with you how Barcelona's management putting Xavi Hernandez on huge pressure without giving much money for signing new players and management huge expected with Barcelona winning La Liga and UEFA Champion League tittle. Its main problem not comparison between how much money spending by management and their target keep impressive performance make Xavi Hernandez announced for leaving Barcelona next season.
I don't know for next manager will be success like Xavi without get much money for signing players but management huge target for winning La Liga trophy.

Well, the truth is that I see quality in the Barcelona players, because this means that there are things that have many good things, for example I know that they have young players but they are players that even now have to learn more and I see that players like Lewa They are indicators for them to do things better, so the advantage that young people have is that they are players who at any moment can define and be with great resistance in everything, so under these circumstances things must be done much better.

I will always say that things that have to do with new players should not be so much the priority, I always use Luis Enrique's team in the World Cup in Qatar as an example, where he sent all young players and they did not go far.


Barcelona to welcome two key players back for Las Palmas


I honestly don't think things can be as easy as you see them in Barcelona, PSG is eager to continue advancing , and for me PSG has a higher level than Barcelona , the fact that they are going to change to Xavi is already a decision on this, perhaps Because this season they have achieved absolutely nothing, however, or they can be Trusted because Girona has periods where they do things very well and can cause surprises, they are only two points Away, Girona he Breathes down their necks, if I were Xavi I wouldn't be able to sleep Peacefully, they have a lot of pressure.

A new coach can make a difference, but I don't see the Performance of the  Players in general as bad, I think they have a very good team, maybe if the leadership is one of the factors that can influence everything, let's wait to see The League is putting good.

Xavi to be offered new role to stay at Barcelona - report




Source: https://www.90min.com/posts/xavi-offered-new-role-stay-barcelona

The biggest clubs in the world currently are Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
A lot of things are it into consideration, it's not just about what they are. Achieved in recent years but they are how they've dominated the sport for a specific period.
The two undisputed top teams in the world are Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their option is open for discussion. It could be between Bayern Munich and Manchester City, but I'd pick Bayern Munich.


The question is not who is a bigger club overall, Barcelona is obviously a bigger club. The question is which club has been more successful in the past 10 years. I know the more successful club is Barcelona, but you'd be surprised at the amount of fans that'll pick Liverpool.
This is because of hat Barcelona has done in the past 10 years looks like child's play compared to what they used to be but if any other team achieved that, the club would be applauded, that's why I used Liverpool.

The Barcelona players don't complain much and enjoy the club's condition even though the finances are not getting better, but the players remain focused on giving their best performance. So there are no problems for Barcelona this season, maintaining the Runner up position is enough to stay on the right track. But next season, if it is without Xavi, I am worried that his performance will decline. New coaches always have difficulty getting along with the players, especially since Barcelona is a club that stands on one leg, without stable finances but the coach needs to entrust it all to the players. The advantages that Xavi has make this club survive quite well. Even without winning a trophy, in the UCL they can still progress and just need to get rid of PSG.

I see no reason why Liverpool should be rated above Barcelona like I don't understand the aspects of the ratings because if we check from league titles, Barcelona have won a record of 27 la Liga trophies and 5 champions league cup to their name whereas Liverpool have won 19 premier league trophy and 6 Champions league victory so with this statistics, you can differentiate between the both clubs and however, if not that Barcelona seems to have reduced in their performance after Lionel Messi's exit from the club you could have agreed with me that Barcelona is far from being compared with Liverpool.

Well said about the ability of the current squad of Barcelona to match up with the quality and energy between those past squad of Barcelona because in those years, any team that meets Barcelona will actually know that they are playing with world class team but currently now the players though I wouldn't say they are too young because they can still achieve outstanding performance regardless of their young age but I feel their experiences are very little and will take time before they can build up Barcelona to that standard again but however, the club needs new quality signings of which they ain't too financially stable to meet up with purchasing some set of quality players.

Even though Alaves is basically not a difficult opponent for Real Sociedad but yes, in reality, in the first meeting this season, Alaves managed to hold Real Sociedad to a draw with a score of 1-1 when Real Sociedad played at home. In this way, their second meeting this season looks like it will still be a difficult match for Real Sociedad to beat Alaves who will be playing at home. Butindeed, even though it seems like it will still not be easy for Real Sociedad to beat Alaves, I personally still veryconfident that Real Sociedad will not lose by Alaves, even if for example Real Sociedad fails to win then a draw could occur. But indeed, basically Real Sociedad will remain the favorite team in this match because of course, Real Sociedad has a bigger mission than Alaves and as such, Real Sociedad still has a chance to win.

Lot of unpredictable games this round we are gonna have.

First Getafe Sevilla, i dont bet in that game even drunk, Sevilla is always doing whatever they want and Getafe also, one day they win against stronger teams and the other they do shit against a weak one.

Another avoidable match for me is Celta Rayo, other two teams very irregular.

And more if we think we come back from a international break.

It is even possible that these two teams will focus more on their Champions League matches because it is also almost impossible for Barcelona to catch Real Madrid's points in the current La Liga standings because they are already far behind so it is more possible for them to focus on the Champions League.
And the same goes for Real Madrid, with their points advantage making them currently quite comfortable so they can focus more on the Champions League quarter-final match against Manchester City.

This season the competition in La Liga is not so fierce because the top teams that usually compete for the title such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are in decline so Real Madrid can easily dominate at the top of the standings without any pressure from other teams.

Yes, Barcelona is in a difficult period. The Camp Nou home team has many financial problems, preventing them from creating famous transfer deals. They did not have enough money to pay Lionel Messi's salary and forced him to leave.

Xavi shows no signs of changing his opinion and remains committed to leaving at the end of the season. However, Barcelona is said to have paused the search for a replacement, hoping Laporta can convince the team's great legend to stay. Xavi's decisiveness is causing headaches for the Catalan giants. If this season ends with a good result, Laporta will convince Xavi to stay.

Real Sociedad were much more of a fighter in the league in the previous season. However we can't see the same dedication this season unfortunately.    Maybe the Athletic Bilbao factor is playing an important role here because they weren't this effective previously. But in this season they are doing an incredible job by fighting for a Champions League spot.

Still Real Sociedad could have been more competitive instead of trailing behind by nearly 10 points though. Even their Conference League spot is in danger right now as Betis aren't that far away. Their remaining games are also not easy as there are ones against Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

I am very impressed with Barcelona struggle to get out of their downturn this season, they were knocked out of the top four positions due to poor performances which resulted in them losing a lot of points. However, Barcelona was able to show its identity as a big team in La Liga, now they have managed to re-enter the UCL Zone by occupying second place. The decline in performance of Atletico and Girona provides an advantage for Barcelona, although it is a bit difficult for Barcelona to reach the first position now occupied by Real Madrid, they can try to secure the runner up position until the end of the season.

The two La Liga teams currently occupying two places in the points table are Barcelona and Real Madrid. These two teams will also play in the Champions League. Real Madrid and Barcelona are currently in very good positions. And in this season's Champions League, both the teams will work hard enough as both the teams will surely work hard to get the win against their next match opponents. And already I think that since Real Madrid are at the top of the points table, they are many points ahead of Barcelona in La Liga, so Real Madrid will focus mostly on the Champions League at the moment. Although the biggest matches this season will be in the Champions League as there are going to be enough attacks with Real Madrid and Manchester City that Real Madrid will focus mostly on the Champions League rather than La Liga. Since Barcelona are many points below Real Madrid, the Madrid team will work harder in the Champions League than in La Liga just to win the title.

Yes, it looks like Barcelona will have the potential to be firmly in second place in Laliga until the end of this season. and Atletico Madrid, recently their performance has not been stable, and neither has Girona. and Barcelona against Atletico Madrid with a score of 0-3 will certainly make Barcelona fans believe that Barcelona will be superior and be ranked runner-up. until the end of the season and on week to 30 we will see Barcelona against Las Palmas. I think Barcelona will easily be able to beat Las Palmas, but if Barcelona draws or loses it will certainly open up space for Girona so of course Xavi has to be alert even though his opponent at that time is Las Palmas.

Yes, the financial problems that Barcelona has been experiencing for a long time certainly haven't made Barcelona lose its performance because Barcelona is good at shopping for players and Barcelona always gets the right players.

That's what I'm worried about and hope Barcelona can perform better next season, even though for example Xavi isn't the one coaching Barcelona.
