Xavi is one of the right coaches for Barcelona, ​​since being left by the previous coach "Koeman".
however, what happened to Barcelona, ​​is not necessarily purely Xavi's fault. to bring in new players, Xavi only has limited funds.  therefore, he chose to put forward his approach to some of his newcomers. plus, he had to look for young talent from La Masia to limit spending in the past transfer market.

So far, Xavi has been successful in La Liga.
however, problems came back after the International break. unmitigated, 5-6 Barcelona players were injured.
as a result, Barcelona had to lose in the Champions League and El Clasico matches. However, I agree, in some crucial matches, Barcelona's defeat was inseparable from the wrong strategy of Xavi plus several underperforming players.  ineffective wingers, messy defence, midfielders who don't contribute much.

The lesson is very valuable for Xavi in ​​the future, next, if Xavi is not able to bring Barcelona to the La Liga trophy. most likely, his career with Barcelona will end.

Previously in this regard bringing Barcelona back on track in La Liga is still something that is indeed commendable in my opinion but indeed 2 consecutive failures in the Champions League is clearly a bad report for Xavi.

I personally wouldn't say he's a bad coach but indeed he still can't get Barcelona to speak well now.

So it be a boomerang for Xavi, also history against Bayern has been the worst record for Barcelona in the UCL after Messi left, Barcelona could not win against Bayern. Many of us assume that Barcelona got stronger when Xavi became a manager, but in fact the UCL target cannot be achieved perfectly even at this time in La Liga it is stuck in the runner up position. Yeah, Barcelona can only beat Weak teams with their squad which now Barcelona can't afford to play against big clubs, it's a big problem for Xavi and for "sacking" you are right the board has no other choice of coach due to financial problems.

Xavi was not a very great coach as people saw him before now. The only great thing that he did was to accept to coach Barcelona even when they were in financial problems, at that time that Barcelona was going down was a great decision for him and he did not take so long to change the fortune of the club to a good one. The problem is that he may not be able to sustain the fortune and return Barcelona to that great club that everybody used to know.
People will easily forget his efforts if Barcelona does not return to Barcelona.

I won't be boggled if that eventually turns out at the end of the day, Barcelona Managers especially those who are debut managers tend to win a trophy at the end of the second season for Barcelona, so, I'll not be perplexed if things eventually turns out for them winning La Liga a. From the start of the Spanish La Liga, I've always wanted them to win, but the end seems bleak and and no longer predictable since some quality players have geled fully with the squad and also injury crises.

Almost majority of top clubs are rebuilding, so I'll consider them unstable during those turbulence they have to also do all they can to bounce up outta those financial crises. Lewandoski has been a stand out player, he's been slotting those goals in back to back.

Unfortunately, these things happen, just look at Inter in Italy who spend a lot of money without reaping many results.
But selling now could be wrong, the team needs to play together to play well and do better next season.
If you have decided to invest, then you must continue as long as it is reasonable to do so. Selling now is stupid.

Basically Barcelona's current problem is only with their coach, if Barcelona has the right coach then with the composition of players that Barcelona currently has, I believe the Barcelona squad is already supporting them to win many titles. If Barcelona is back to being able to win many titles and regain their best form, then surely the financial problems they have experienced so far will slowly improve as well. But because their performance is still bad then of course, their financial problems are not getting better and of course it is a very worrying problem because it is very close to bankruptcy.

Barcelona so far although they look good in La Liga but for other tournaments Xavi still can't rotate players properly, even in La Liga Barcelona's position may still be difficult to win the title because Xavi really doesn't have good progress from time to time.

If Cadiz coach make use of the right players to play Atletico Madridin this game, they will surely win Atletico Madrid 2-1 because anything can happen in game competition like the way PSV Eindhoven disgrace Arsenal in the UEFA champions league competition, so don't used the past to determine the future. The two teams are strong but it will be difficult for Atletico Madrid to win Cadiz in this game because Cadiz has talented defenders who can handle the defensive very well without allow Atletico Madrid strikers to achieve a goal from the game.

Cadiz is the weakest team in La Liga. They are now in the relegation zone. On the other hand, although the performance of Atlético Madrid at the beginning of the season was unstable, now the Atlético Madrid team is quite strong. They are consistently performing well in every match. I don't think Atletico Madrid will have a problem winning against a team like Cadiz now. My prediction is that Atletico Madrid will win this match 1-0.

Xavi spent lots of money for nothing. He can be considered as the worst coach for barcelona. That means even though he played for barcelona in the past and it doesn't mean he can become a good coach for the team. barcelona needs to sell lots of players to get money. It has been losing potential income caused by it has been leaving from champion league. Taking another financial clever is not even possible anymore in this situation. So much money being wasted for nothing. We are still far away until the next transfer season will be opened in january.
Sacking xavi would become the best decision that can be taken but since barcelona in the financial trouble and i don't think barcelona can do that.


It's not as strong as real madrid or even bayern. The barcelona players have weak mentality.

Well, the classic I think is one of the most watched games in the world, we all know the power that Barcelona has, without a doubt it is showing it, although with many problems in the UCL, but I think it still has a lot to prove, yes and only if Xavi knows how to balance all his chips, if he does something wrong, it is known that Real Madrid does not forgive, less with Ancelotti's technical direction, for me this classic not only the one that was presented but those that are to come, the League has been developing a lot, we may see some higher level plays in the upcoming classics, here no position is being determined, the league final should be this classic to decide who is the best.

Yes, of course, there that is a very good question, of course the case of those who have won the golden ball may have been set by a standard, such as winning their league and the UCL, but also if those are the requirements, it is not easy to get there, for example Benzema is a very complete player and he managed to do something like that, what is called the Feat, something that Messi at the time when he was against LEWA did not do and yet they gave it to him to him, I think it was FIFA's preference, it's no secret to anyone that in FIFA there are certain favoritisms that make them very special, the fact that Barcelona has left the UCL does not mean that they are finished, that the UCL is very much taken into account is something else, but the Europa League is very good and if it stands out there why can't it be the golden ball.


Well in that you are absolutely right, however between Xavi and a Technical Director like Ten Hag, I prefer Xavi with all his mistakes, at least Xavi sells those who do not like him for his team and does not leave them on the bench, less being stars, we must also highlight that, to have a good context of the situation in Barcelona, I would say that they are not at the level, it has already been shown that only 1 player cannot make the difference, I feel sorry for Lewa, because if he had been in the Bayern were playing their UCL, however it is another dream that is gone, at least for this season, this is something that happens, and I agree that now Barcelona has to make quick changes.

The following is curious:

Bernd Reichart insists Juventus and Spanish giants are right about the Super League




Well, one of the things that I have always liked about the Spanish League is that the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona is something unique, something from another world, but you cannot cover the sun with a finger, here Real Madrid is superior, and Barcelona already lacks a little more, they already have the material, but they have to work very well so that they can do something very good, in fact I think that Xavi has done a lot, who really put this team to work very Pep Guardiola was well, and as that coach I think none, it's a shame he's at Bayern, because right now if they need him, well that's my speculation.

I find this information interesting:

Barcelona and Atletico hand cash boost to Real Madrid

Real Madrid have very good strength and in every game they can control the ball well so it is certain that no big club can beat, Barcelona is said to be the opponent of Real Madrid but in reality Barcelona is not able to beat Real Madrid. In La Liga Real Madrid managed to maintain its position to remain number one and this is not an easy endeavor.

Agreed, seeing some improvements in the last season towards the end, I think fans expected too much from Barcelona. Many people probably forgot that Barcelona isn't in the same situation as it used to be. There were a lot of people who overrated Xavi after he came on the scene. As of now, I don't think he did anything special for Barcelona except sign some overpriced players. Still not sure if this was the right decision. Now Barcelona does not have anything to do with the Champions League.

La Liga is the only place where they still have some hope. Real Madrid seems to be way better than Barcelona right now, so I'm not sure if they'll win that either.

I think Kounde is very kind in fact and his absence definitely backfired.
Having Araujo and Kounde in defense makes them quite strong but when these two are not around this becomes a problem.

In defense they actually have some names that are quite good like Alba, Alonso and even Pique but these players are now old enough so there must be regeneration.

It was real disappointing for Barcelona to crash out of the Champions’ league but they are still a good team and can boast of some of the best players in the world. Although inexperienced, coach Xavi is really reorganizing the team to a large extent and he has effectively managed the players which has made them to get some positive result. He should be given more time so that he can consolidate on the foundaion he has created for the team. I am sure that in the nearest future Barcelona would celebrate Xavi like their former coach Zidane.

Real Madrid is just three point above Barcelona, which means that if Madrid lose just one match Barcelona would catchup. The only advantage Real Madrid have over Barcelona is that Real has an experienced tactician Carlo Ancelotti. He is one of the best coaches’ globally, meanwhile Xavi is a newbie in the coaching field. The league is still fresh and I hope that some teams would have to use the January transfer window to readjust their teams effectively and efficiently. And I also feel that  Barca bought more players than they can maintain, they need to offload some players.

I feel the end of the season will decide if we gave Xavi more credit that what he deserves, Barca have fallen out of the champions league to the Europa league, and it is very hard for them to take, but if Xavi still wins some trophies at the end of the season, he will get a lot of praise, and he will deserve it then. Xavi helped them last season, but managers have to continue good works or else it will be forgotten very fast, for now Xavi is not in many people's good books, but if he ends the season with some trophies; people will be happy with the work he has done.

From all indication not just on paper Real Madrid can't be shifted not even by Barca. I can confidently bet Madrid to finish the season undefeated. The only club that should have crippled Madrid chance of finishing top was Barca but as it stands they won't even boast of a draw when Madrid visit them in Camp Nou. The season might seem long but it makes no difference to Madrid.  Many came to love Barca because of Messi and so many don't know he is no more in Barca the reason the ignorantly connect Messi to Barcelona

The season is still long, but you also have to look at how Real Madrid are doing at the moment, where no team has beaten Real Madrid so far and if you consider that there are other great teams in La Liga, then that is also like a team. Barcelona have also not been able to beat Real Madrid this season. As for Messi, this is only linked by people who don't know where Messi is now and I see not everyone.

It is because Xavi didn't prioritize buying top defenders. The only defender who is strong enough already bought by Xavi, is Kounde. But this man seems a bit difficult to adapt to Barcelona game/tactic. And he needs another good defender as his partner in Barcelona defence line. Pique, Christensen, and García seem not stong enough as Centre-Back who is paired with Kounde. I assume Xavi must buy a strong Centre-Back in the next transfer window. But it is better for an experienced Centre-Back, don't buy a young Centre-Back.

The good thing about Barcelona is that they will not have to focus on anything else for a long time, they will be able to actually work hard to win the title and wouldn't be tired because of any other game. Whereas, it's obvious that we are talking about Real Madrid who would still be able to win games, look at them win the title AND ucl at the same time just last year, so it’s not going to be that tough for them neither and they don't have to give up on anything.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be really shocked to see Real still keeping it a tight competition, but Barcelona do have the advantage in the league right now with how free their schedule became.
