The impact of xavi in Barcelona is such that can't be overlooked or even overly emphasized because he's been able to manage them well enough through the tough times where they had the financial burne yet never did they find their selves at the bottom of the table or even anywhere below the top five, they still get to finish amongst top three and four almost every season since the genesis of their financial crises.

Laporta's decisions is best known to him but as it regards the intrest of the team, I can say for sure that it wasn't a good one because they are yet to get pass the whole financial saga even if they have been able to get a fair head above it currently but they are yet in their feet properly and here's a man who's got the tactics of seeing them through the tough times and was able to still keep the team in a bet shape, getting a coach in with such quality may be a problem to Barcelona but we hope the new coach they are about to appoint has it at heart that there are inevitable challenges ahead of him which he's definitely going to face if he's going to manage the Tam.

Very importantly is results and productivity, amidst all of the financial instabilities, I'm sure la porta will not take that as an excuse for any form of poor results and Inconsistency that will lead to lesser productivity with the team as he has seen the team done better even in that state a d this is exactly the pressure that will be on the new coach to be able to deliver the team even with all the challenges ahead.

Real Madrid does not officially announce Mbappe’s transfer, because they are still resolving financial issues with PSG, the point is in the bonus that Mbappe received from PSG (€80 million), although at the beginning of the season when Mbappe was not training with the main team it should not have been paid, then paid and now expect that Real should compensate this bonus, and Real, of course, does not want to pay PSG anything because Mbappe is now a free agent.

But PSG also did not pay Mbappe’s salary and bonuses for several last months, which in general amount to approximately the same amount, and now lawyers are dealing with this issue.

Actually for this season Joselu become super sub for Real Madrid and his contribution success helpful when helping Madrid defeating Bayern Munich on semifinal round of Champion League. Arriving Kylian Mbappe or not Joselu most minute spending at the bench with Carlo Ancelotti tactician playing by using false nine on attacking line, but if reach agreement deal for singing Kylian Mbappe next season will make difficult for Joselu will be in starting line up position or not getting loan extending.

For Vinicius Jr position keep secure and he will get regular position for next season if Mbappe arrive, I think both team can play together on the same moment behind Mmbappe will put as central forward and Vinicius keep on his position as left winger. For attacking line not any change yet with potential Vinicius Jr, Mbappe and Rodrygo.

Joselu is no longer young and even this season he didn't get a main place so when Mbappe comes later it's clear he will be left out, but I think Joselu is still needed by the team, to be a cover on the front line.

For the front line, I think Vinicius Jr and Mbappe can still be a partnership or play on the wing for one of them and indeed if you look at the quality I think anyone between these two players can play on the wing or in the middle and what is certain is Vinicius Jr and Mbappe's attacking instincts strong enough that I don't doubt them when playing up front.

That is impossible to happen because laporta unwilling to sell his players who already valued very high at this moment. Barcelona continues to refuse to sell its players for higher prices and this is the main problem that was making club so struggle with its financial. Its financial can never recover caused by barcelona has a very bad habit to keep any players till they leave as free agent. When Barcelona received a large offer for its young players, the club rejected it, but Laporta attempted to sell its useless players for a high price which didn't even make sense. .

Who the hell is going to buy them? Ansu fati is the best example of this. Barcelona turned down a $100 million offer for him a few years ago, and his price is now worthless.

They never learnt. Mismanagement is also exacerbating the issue at the club. Barcelona may take more than a decade to rebuild its finances without selling off its skills for a large quantity of money.

Welcome flick!!!

This is not easy, because currently Barcelona no longer has mega star players like Messi, Neymar and others. The only way for Barcelona to have good finances and solved all of their financial problem is to sell the club to a rich businessman, for example from Saudi Arabia. With this way, all of Barcelona debts can be paid off. However, if it only relies on sponsors, broadcasts, jerseys/merchandise, tickets, I don't think it will be enough to solve their financial problems in the near future.

Xavi is a good coach and he also had the support of the players during the transfer window, so the current situation seems to be a management decision. And now Hansi Flick has agreed to a deal with Barcelona, I was surprised to read on social media that his salary is not more than Xavi and even only half of Xavi. Is this part of a strategy to save Barcelona money? Maybe.

Let's look at his career history, he's only been a head coach 4 times.
1996-2000 Victoria Bammental
2000-2005 1899 Hoffenheim
2019-2021 Bayern München
2021-2023 Germany

From this history I see he is very successful as Bayern Munich coach. He got 6 trophies in 2 years. I think Flick can be succes if he get suport from management. This is because next season La Liga will be dificult, look Mbappe came from PSG to Madrid if Barcelona can not utilize the transfers season maybe he can't improve the Team.

Joselu will most likely lose his position as a striker because it seems like Mbappe is being prepared to fill that room. When Mbappe arrived, it was clearly impossible to create a situation where Mbappe and Vinicius Jr were fighting for position, and it was also impossible to shift Mbappe to the wing-back position. So the most feasible thing is to play Mbappe in the center of the front with a 4-3-3 formation which is also often played by Real Madrid.

It's nothing new for Real Madrid to play out that scenario because in the past Real Madrid once placed one of its world-class right players in the central midfielder position. At that time Real Madrid already had Figo who was always the main star on the right wing. So when Real Madrid signed Beckham, he had to be willing to play in the midfield, and it turns out he is quite good at playing in that position.

Xavi was able to manage the team this season, and even though injuries have affected their games this season, they managed to finish the season in second place, I'm not sure why they decided to sack him after he announced to remain at the club for another season. However, we don't know if hiring a new coach may be the best option for the club, we can witness that next season because Barcelona is not an easy team to improve with their injured players.


Jude Bellingham is the best thing that has happened to Real Madrid this season, we did not expect such an amazing performance from him. However, I thought he might have a bad performance this season because it would be his first season in La Liga, but he surprised me by scoring his first goal in his first game for Real Madrid. Bellingham has achieved many things this season, he scored 22 goals in all competitions, won the La Liga player of the season and UEFA Champions League final. If Real Madrid wins the Champions League final he will win the treble in his first season at Real Madrid.

On the other hand, Jude Bellingham isn't the only players who fill the forward center of Real Madrid this season. Joselu didn't contribute as much as Bellingham but we should also consider him as the best player who helped Real Madrid to win most of their important games this season. In the second leg of their Champions League semifinal, Jude Bellingham was unable to score goals, Joselu was the player who sent Real Madrid to the Champions League final. If Real Madrid did not sign any young striker next season, I hope they should give Joselu another one more year at the club.

Every elite clubs keep firing harder for results to upgrade their status. Xavi Hernandez did his best, he won them a couple of major titles during his stay at Camp Nou as headcoach, bringing forth excellence on their path. Barcelona have been struggling to make improvements with the current result on ground but due to the challenges they've encountered when it comes to finances, their inability to sign players and this is probably not the necessities required.

De Jong should definitely be kept by Barcelona. I believe he is one of the really skilled midfielders in the world now. He has been a consistent player since he joined Barcelona as well. As long as Barcelona doesn't manage to find a talent similar to him and much cheaper too, it isn't reasonable to sell him.    Bernardo Silva transfer would probably fail. He has renewed his contract until 2026 and he is happy at Manchester City.

Barcelona finances have been a meme topic recently.    After they signed Hansi Flick there was a meme created like they couldn't arrange a car for him that he had to go to the team facilities by bus.  

I hope Barcelona solves the existing financial problems to strengthen the squad more. Otherwise it is hard to compete with Real Madrid.

Of course we also have to think about whether Barcelona has the money to pay Xavi's salary or not to mention the financial condition which is currently having problems in paying the players' salaries, of course that also has to be taken into account in terms of spending Barcelona's income in a season, of course there will be something that has to be sacrificed even though  We all don't know about the problem of Xavi's dismissal from Barcelona, ​​however we can't blame Barcelona which is currently in decline, even though Xavi has brought changes but the financial problem regarding the salary provided by Barcelona is too big to give to Xavi, there must be another reason.  from the shooter.

In a difficult situation Xavi was able to bring a lot of changes and also stability in the Barcelona squad, but unfortunately he had to be sacked only for ridiculous reasons that Laporta might regret in the future, in two seasons with Barcelona of course he has worked hard enough and given everything for the revival of Barcelona even though the end of the season was not always as expected,  But I think with the current financial conditions, of course, Xavi achievements at Barcelona are extraordinary, now Xavi has been officially fired and Hansi Flick will continue all Xavi hard work in resurrecting Barcelona glory as one of Europe top teams so far.

Hansi Flick already has a lot of experience in coaching a club, Bayern Munich is certainly a team he has coached and won many championship trophies, but for now of course Barcelona difficult conditions will make him have to work hard and also smart in revamping the Barcelona squad to compete next season, reportedly Hansi Flick will be contracted until June 2026 with a salary of 3 million euros per year.

I agree with you. Even though Barcelona has a serious financial crisis, if they sell De Jong and recruit another player with the same quality or more then they will still have to pay the same salary as De Jong receives. I heard news or rumors that said De Jong would be sold because the club management planned to recruit Bernardo Silva from City. I think De Jong is a good player but unfortunately he often suffers from injuries so his performance is not optimal. This is similar to Dembele before, where Dembele often suffered injuries at Barcelona but strangely he became a quite strong player at PSG.

Barcelona had difficult times but they were definitely not at the bottom of the table, although the team's position was very precarious and Xavi did a lot for the team. Changing a coach is a normal phenomenon, sometimes it can up the team well, but sometimes it can be a wrong decision that can only worsen the situation in the team. Considering that the team’s financial condition is not the best, such a decision by Laporta could worsen everything. Xavi demanded strengthening of the team, Laporta was apparently not ready for this, given the team’s debts.

Barcelona surprisingly fired Xavi Hernandez from the coaching chair last week. Former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick is currently the person most likely to take over Xavi's duties. If you look at his track record, Flick was the assistant coach for the German national team when they won the 2014 World Cup and also when they were runners-up at Euro 2008. What we know. During his time at Bayern Munich, he won the Champions League, two Bundesliga titles, the Club World Cup and other awards.

But as Xavi said. Currently Barcelona is experiencing financial difficulties. The question is, will Flick have difficulty finding talented players while managing Barcelona? It is very likely that Flick will sell some of their young players and players who do not fit their criteria.

Barcelona can at least finish in second place this season despite the finalcial trouble faced by the club. This is far preferable to seeing Barcelona than get nothing this season. Barcelona struggled in the middle of the season, but they can depart for good by finishing second place behind Real Madrid at the time. Barcelona deserved a lot of apreciations. them might be considered a very impressive achievement by Barcelona given the club's financial situation, which did not allow them to recruit the new player. Xavi has worked really hard to help Barcelona remain competitive in the La Liga. I believed Xavi deserved a spot to stay for another season, but Laporta refuses it. I think that barcelona shall able to perform better in the upcoming season. yet the final cial problem may still become the main issue owned by barcelona.

It is a pretty nasty thing from Laporta to sack xavi when he gives his best to the barcelona. I do not like laporta caused by this owner is making too many intervention.
Im wondering what's his target?

Bellingham is very effective transfer for Real Madrid although at that time Real Madrid have to bought him with expensive price but i am sure Real Madrid will very satisfied with his performance this because Bellingham debut season with Real Madrid is run well because this season Real Madrid can able to gets Laliga trophy and in the next few days Real Madrid will fight against Dortmund at Champion League and in this competition too their chances to gets the trophy is very wide open considering Real Madrid status as the favourite and Bellingham also can being an Real Madrid top scorer in Laliga with 19 goals so i have no wonder if Laliga declared Bellingham as Laliga player of the season

I think the arrival of Mbappe to Real Madrid won't have any affect to Bellingham position on starting lineup this because natural position from both teams is very different because Bellingham as attacking midfielder and Mbappe as a winger or he can be played as striker and in my opinion the arrival of Mbappe later will makes Real Madrid forward lines is more dangerous because Ancelotti will have much options for that position but indeed if Mbappe really go to Real Madrid potentially he will be replace other players positions and in this case the position of Rodrygo or Vinicius will be threatened

Losing De Jong will not do Barcelona any good, if we look at De Jong this season his performance has declined slightly and it is possible that other clubs who want to take him also don't want to spend more than 100 million, because De Jong is not the best at the moment , selling De Jong will not reduce the players' salaries which is currently a problem at Barcelona, ​​​​and Barcelona will also bring in a new coach and of course want several new players.

With the performance shown by De Jong, I think he is still worth keeping and also the player's desire to stay at Barcelona is also very high, it is very likely that he will work hard in the Frendly Match to impress the new coach who will appear in charge of Barcelona next season.

It has been confirmed that current Barcelona manager Xabi is set to step down. Perhaps he is stepping down from Barcelona because of the team's poor performance in the Champions League. A few matches before the end of the season, there were rumors that the current coach of Barcelona Xabi would leave the club, many people gave many kinds of arguments and many kinds of predictions, but in the end, everyone's predictions or arguments were proved wrong, he is finally leaving the team this season. But he was able to improve the situation in Barcelona significantly because the situation in Barcelona was not like that. When he took charge of Barcelona, Barcelona were in a bad situation and Barcelona were constantly at the bottom of the points table, from where he won the title and this season he managed to bring Barcelona to a respectable level.
