I am wonder about Sevilla because it seems that this season Sevilla is actually worse than last season, I also wonder why the presence of Ramos still doesn't make Sevilla better this season. Even in this match against Osasuna, basically Sevilla managed to play well in the first half and also won 1-0 at half time. But yes, it was a shame that Sevilla didn't play well in the second half and as such, Osasuna managed to dominate the match in the second half until finally Osasuna managed to score a goal and managed to end the match with a 1-1 draw.

Girona and Real Madrid continue to move past each other at the top of the La Liga standings this season and the previous narrow win against Celta Vigo put Girona ahead again by 1 point. The match was very exciting and balanced, but Girona's needs began to break in the 20th minute after Portu scored a goal to give Girona the advantage in this away match. Both teams attacked each other and neither wanted to give in, but in the end this narrow lead lasted until the final minute.

In fact, Celta Vigo also put quite a lot of pressure on Girona and they recorded 10 goal attempts but they all failed. Girona has a slightly better record than Celta Vigo but cannot increase the goal difference more. Despite all that, Girona assured this victory and brought home 3 points from Celta Vigo. The competition in La Liga this season is completely limited to Girona and Real Madrid. If we look at Barcelona, which has a difference of around 10 points more than these two teams, then it is impossible for Barcelona to catch them both.

Yeah, it's also been reported he won't be taking the salaries meant for the remaining years ( That's due to the contract he signed yesterday ) He's indeed a true boyhood fan of the club and has refused nothing from happening to the more after them bad team results and financial challenges.
They should kindly let player's like Frankie De Jong, Araujo, Robert Lewandoski and I doubt they'll want to extend the contract of Jaoa Felix. Cancelo I can agree to stay.
Most importantly, they need a better coach with good tactics and build to grow the club around the La Ma Sia laddies.

He did well last season, some positions left amd they didn't replace them well along with the Injury that has affected them and how they've played.

I think Xavi has thought about his decision well and maybe it's not just because of the defeat to Villarreal. Of course, he was furious with the current condition of his team, which seemed weak amidst the huge demands from internal and external parties, so his statement was understandable.

Basically I understand what Xavi wants for his team, but things will not improve as quickly as expected. This season many plans have not gone according to expectations, even when Xavi has great enthusiasm to start this season. To be honest, I don't want him to go as quickly as he said, but if that is the best decision then he has the right to get what he wants.



Barcelona tends to get coaches who have a history with the club, so of course they will look for coaches who are suitable and also understand the philosophy of the game. Not sure who will replace Xavi, but I hope it's not Ronald Koeman.

The match between Sevilla vs Osasuna in Spanish League has already started. The game is now half-time. So far Sevilla team is leading by 1 goal. On the other hand, Osasuna team has not scored any goal. It seems that the game is going to be a tough fight between the two teams at the end.  Pabo. Osasuna team is ahead of Sevilla team in the points table. Osasuna team is trying hard to score but no goal yet. It seems that Osasuna team can do better after half time.

Yeah, Xavi has officially announced his intention to leave Barcelona. It wasn't very surprising to me thinking of his threatening the players to leave before if they weren't going to improve their performances.

We must have all seen what Barcelona did against Villarreal a short time after that talk. It was just a little faster than the time I thought Xavi would decide to leave. From now on I hope Barcelona can manage to find a good manager for themselves. Xavi wasn't bad in the previous season. But things haven't gone the way he would like this season so far. As this is his personal decision I respect that.

Xavi has announced that he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season. I always prefer to blame the coaches last. Because if the team is not good, we can't expect them to do god-like things. Barcelona's squad this season is one of the worst in recent times. Xavi was limited in what he could do. However, neither Real Madrid nor Girona have great squads in the league this season. They don't have squads that are vastly superior to Barcelona. Xavi should have performed better this season.

They're seeing too much of the bad performance than that of the good games truly. He must have set his own personal goals to achieve for the club this season and if he is not achieving them, he has to recheck himself and consider what's good for the club and the future if the club. Him leaving will also see some important players in the club leave and they'll start the creation of a new Barcelona with younger players

Saw Girona with that first half win and they went ahead to win the game completely. They didn't slip off after that lose to Mallorca during the Copa del Rey. Their coach is a good one to consider for who's inline for the Barcelona job.

Well I was thinking the same thing, Xavi doesn't want to leave Barcelona as a failed coach because previously he succeeded in improving Barcelona's performance so actually he has the ability to handle this team, it's just that some internal problems can't be overcome. I agree if Xavi moves next season or sooner it was the right move to save his reputation as a new coach, and he is still continuing his career in another team, I heard one club from the Premier League is interested in him but so far it's just a rumor.  If Xavi leaves, who should replace him?

There was no better choice for him than to just resign. Xavi is influenced by the media and he expressed this shortly after losing to Villareal. There was pressure from outside that made him uncomfortable staying at Barcelona, ​​perhaps he had been treated badly all this time. In my opinion, Xavi is a great potential coach if he is supported by good finances, but unfortunately he didn't come at the right time.

Right now Xavi will only focus on the remainder of the season, including fighting in the Champions League. Barcelona has lost a lot of hope in La Liga, they also failed in the Copa Del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup, so he was tired of all this.

Barcelona current bad streak is one of the most painful insults for Xavi because currently bad finances have caused Xavi reputation to decline, while Xavi has been trying to provide the best strategy since the start of the season and is currently experiencing bad times when players are injured and there is a lack of quality reserve players.
Xavi current thinking is that it would be better if he left Barcelona rather than risking his reputation becoming bad.

I was quite surprised by the number of goals in the second half, yes Barcelona had turned things around 3-2 but the through ball was quite measured and completed directly by Goncalo Guedes. This is what makes the Villareal players enthusiastic, it's true what you said 10 minutes at the end of the match makes Barcelona's defense increasingly having problems with the lack of communication between each player in guarding each line and in the 4th goal I saw the Barcelona defenders making a blunder in their defense, and in the 5th goal the Villareal players freely got a cross and no one was guarding it and the goal was scored.

This much have been a very sad decision for him to make after losing to Villarreal. Could the lost and the pain of losing made him utter those disappointing statement of leaving the club at the end of the season? This was not expected though seeing how he did well last season for the club and earned them the La Liga title. This season, I also don’t think it is time to give up on the fight for the league title so early, but let’s just respect his decision and hope that what he did was for the best interest of the team. Two coaches have announced so far that they’ll not continue with their teams by next season, it is very unusual to happen as season is still ongoing unless the management sacks them by theirselves. We will wait to see who will be the replacement for Xavi before next season begins.

Xavi Hernandez was a former captain of the Barcelona team and not just that he's a former captain but also a very passionate fan of Barcelona who always wants Barcelona to succeed. Since he took over the managerial position at the club, things haven't been as they used to be at the club but he was still doing his best to make sure Barcelona remains as one of the top performers in not just Spain but in Europe. Last season, he led the club to lift the Spanish La Liga title but since the start of the season, Barcelona have been struggling to win games as a result of numerous injuries to the key players of the club as well as the club's failure to sign world class players.

His decision to leave the club at the end of the current season isn't a bad idea especially for his young managerial career

Barcelona sucked against Villarreal. Like viewing a shadow of the European football powerhouse. Their defense was disorganized, and their midfield had no strategy. Barcelona has changed, and its sad to witness a storied club fall apart. Everyone, including me, was shocked when Villarreal took advantage of the match's complete disaster.

Hearing about Xavi's exit is even scarier. The team would be devastated if the rumors are accurate. He was rightfully upset - the match was humiliating. Barcelona must examine their problems and fix them. This is about saving a club that has contributed so much to football, not just a game. Act now before its too late.

In my opinion, this defeat was not entirely Xavi's fault, because the formation and strategy that Xavi formed and applied to his players were correct and Barcelona's front line also looked very good in attack. However, Barcelona's defense still looked very bad and very weak when facing Villarreal's attackers, they were unable to steal the ball from their opponents so Villarreal's attackers scored a lot of goals. Maybe because of the financial crisis that occurred in Barcelona, Xavi did not have a defender who could be relied on to play in this match, so Barcelona's performance condition was very low and was not always consistent in his matches.

In this match, it was seen that Barcelona's back line players always made mistakes, resulting in many goals being scored against Barcelona. In my opinion, Barcelona's back line must really be improved so that Barcelona's back line can be strong in the future. If Xavi decides to leave Barcelona, I am sure that in the future Barcelona will be even worse, because when Barcelona gets a new coach it is not certain that he will be able to adapt that quickly. Because as a new coach he must be able to form a truly mature strategy pattern to be able to give success to his squad, this takes a very long time to become successful.

In fact, at this moment Real Madrid also experienced a little difficulty in winning the match because after all, in the two matches against mediocre teams, Real Madrid actually needed greater effort to win. But yes, even though Real Madrid's situation is not completely good, at least the Real Madrid squad still managed to play with better effort because they have a good winning mentality. At least that is the difference between Real Madrid and Barcelona at this moment, the point is that Barcelona does not have a good winning mentality and becaause of that, it is difficult for Barcelona to overcome the problems that occur. Regarding financial problems, clearly, that is Barcelona's main problem and this problem cannot be resolved easily and quickly.

Barcelona performance decline and it's quite obvious, why would an elite team like Barca fight to accumulate points when there mates, Real Madrid are winning matches without stress. Xavi Hernandez have even decided to leave the club at the end of the season because he's seeing no progress at Camp Nou. Barcelona originates from the team's board, they've failed to make good impression and I've watch and observed the team from a distance, they're suffering to fit into the system and there's definitely no good extent to see them back to triumph path in football.

No one will be able to turn Barcelona into the greatest team of this decade if their financial condition does not improve. The team needs a lot of new players with qualities above the current average player, clearly this is a basic need to make Barcelona a top competitor in La Liga and also in Europe.

Xavi has tried his best and given his best for his team, but the depth of the squad, which is relatively young and inexperienced, makes it difficult for Barcelona to achieve its best performance. They played well when building attacks, but their finishing was often problematic. The transition from attack to defense was also problematic, this was because the defenders and goalkeeper performed poorly. This should not be entirely Xavi's fault, but the player also needs to take responsibility for his poor performance.

The current condition of Barcelona is not just due to some mistakes being done this season but Barcelona was decaying from the inside for years. They were doing more politics recently and being Més que un club they forgot how to make a good football club.
Not just the barcagate, Barcelona made controversies on release of both Messi and Neymar mostly because they were struggling to finance the team as they had accumulated huge debt. They would have performed better if they had spent money on players than bribing the referees.
