We'll see later, whether Barcelona is really able to win when they visit Girona because before that match takes place between these two teams, Barcelona also has to try to win when they host the Valencia team at the end of this month. Because the only safe way for Barcelona to remain in second place in the standings until the end of this season is to continue winning and never lose again in the remaining matches. Likewise with Girona if they still want to maintain their third position in the standings until the end of the season.

This is what Barcelona management should be wary of next season after Xavi decided to quit at the end of this season, if Barcelona is in strong finances like a few seasons ago, of course the decision to step down the coach is not a problem for them because they can easily find other coach, but next season of course will be different, currently Barcelona is in a bad financial condition and it is difficult for other coaches to take responsibility to bring The change in Barcelona who does have a limited funds to compete in La Liga and the Champions League, Xavi who has a love for Barcelona is able to bring Barcelona on the right track even though he does not have strong financial support, but I think it will be very difficult for other coaches to be able to do what Xavi is doing at Barcelona at the moment.

Barcelona have indeed got a replacement for Xavi next season, but honestly I am not sure if he is able to lift Barcelona's game performance next season, currently Rafael Marquez who is the coach of Barcelona B is reportedly a strong candidate as a replacement for Xavi, although maybe he already knows Barcelona well but of course the pressure to be able to face big games will of course still exist.

Xavi departure will have a bad impact on the coming season because we never know whether a coach who has intelligence like Xavi will manage the existing players well without being able to bring in quality players like other teams.
persisting to stay with Barcelona is also one of the bad things for the achievements that the coach will get because being with Barcelona for too long will certainly not give you more experience.
I can't imagine what Barcelona will be like in the coming season without Xavi and it will definitely look very bad and the fans will definitely be very worried.

I had heard earlier that xabi would leave Barcelona but with all the criticism now in the media I saw today that he would stay at Barcelona. It is certainly true that Xabi had vowed to leave the club, but the Barcelona chairman's best efforts have resulted in him staying at Barcelona. I saw in a press release today that Xabi has done enough for Barcelona this season in La Liga to take them to a higher position but maybe next season he will try to be more successful.

It is true that many say Xabi is not responsible as a manager, but I think he is definitely a good and responsible manager. Couldn't sustain the success in Laliga only if he had developed his players a bit better maybe they would have had success, but I don't think that's his fault. Although they have not been able to match Madrid this season, I believe that good things await Barcelona next season, and they will do well in the future. And in the Champions League they certainly played a role enough to get into the semi-finals, but a red card only saw them out of the semi-finals, something the manager could do nothing about. Although I am not a Barcelona fan, but I believe that in the future Barcelona will definitely try to get to a better position and Xabi will lead his team to the top.

Unexpectedly... I read yesterday that after another meeting between Xavi and Joan Laporte, his decision remained unchanged and he will leave Barcelona at the end of the season. But today I see that there was a second meeting in the house of the club president, and this allowed Xavi to change his decision. Look first, Alonso stayed in Bayer, now Xavi remains in Barcelona, all that remains is for Klopp to stay in Liverpool and everything will be as before...))

I think they were unfairly criticised in the city game. Madrid did what they had to do in that game and played according to their own temperament. If they hadn't played according to their own temperament and played like they did against barcelona, they would have been eliminated without even having to play the second game. They really play at a different level and they are the boss, end of the chapter monster of football. Even if you are City, when you see that monster, you get confused and you can never gain psychological superiority in a match where you are actually superior and you go home.

Yeah I have also seen the news and I'm surprised about the result.    Because Xavi was looking very determined to leave. Like you said the chairman was doing everything he could to convince him to stay but first Xavi didn't seem likely to be convinced. Maybe Xavi wanted to give it another shot after starting to get positive results for quite long.

I don't think he is a bad manager at all. He couldn't maintain the success in the La Liga which I criticized him for before but this improvement might be a good sign for the future. Maybe one can say that they are eliminated in the Champions League as well. But I would like to underline an important thing there, it was due to the red card otherwise I believe Barcelona would reach the semi finals.

There is no doubt we are having impressive work by the Xavi Hernandez in during last 30 months even their sources are limited but still he is doing his best for having better results and keep things at the top level and now having news of he is going to stay for more time going to have positive impact on the teams performance and fans as well which was looking not good after his announcement leaving at the end of the season.

Even still we are having few things not clear but most chances as he is managing this club he can bring good improvement in coming season and things could be on well control for keeping pressure on Real Madrid and other clubs which are giving them challenge we are not having any positive news about the finances of the Barcelona which are hurting them badly, and they are also not able to bring new quality players but still management need to think about this all and also having something good which give some good chance of doing good for the Xavi with better players.

Real Madrid will face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the Champions League, while PSG will face Dortmund in another match. PSG must be avoided considering their performance against Barcelona in their last Champions League match. 

In the case of strong teams not facing strong opponents in the semi-final matches, it becomes easier for us to predict which team will win the semi-final. For example, in the match between Bayan Munich and Real Madrid, considering the statistics and all other aspects, we must put Real Madrid ahead because the performance of Bayan Munich is better than Real Madrid and is performing consistently. Dortmund, on the other hand, have not done well in their league this season, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League so far this season depending on their luck alone. That's why I said Dortmund got to this point by luck because they always got easy opponents and they took advantage of that opportunity. However, their journey to the semi-finals will not be easy as Luis Enrique's side will surely plan hard to win the semi-finals. In the current state of the game, it seems that Real Madrid and PSG could play in the Champions League final this season.

In my opinion, there is no hope for other teams to become champions in the final, including Barcelona, which is Real Madrid's rival team. With Barcelona far behind in points at the moment, I don't think it's possible for Barcelona to catch up. Even though with Real Madrid's next match there may be difficulties against several teams, but no one knows what will happen on the pitch. it is possible for a weak team to beat a strong team. I myself don't underestimate other teams, but Real Madrid can definitely handle everything well and optimally.

However, with Real Madrid's next match there might be a match that could be a little difficult for them, I'm sure Real Madrid can balance it, because this year might be the year for Real Madrid to win. with their next match with Bayern Munich, I think Real Madrid can still balance Bayern Munich, because now Bayern Munich, which is experiencing a decline in performance, is a good opportunity for Real Madrid.

Although the probability of Bayern Munich beating Real Madrid seems like 50%, this rate becomes 70/30 when we consider the team differences and the situation during the season. Real Madrid will advance to the next round, it's almost certain. However, the Atalanta - Liverpool match showed us that there is nothing certain in football. A team that reaches the semi-finals is very strong, that's for sure.

Whatever happens, the referee is still the leader in the course of a match and VAR is an artificial tool that can help the referee to see footage of particular incident during the match, after all, VAR is tool that has been authorized by FIFA.
When the result has been decided, whatever the team at loss like Barcelona will do will not affect anything and rematch will never take place.
Problems like this often occur in various leagues and competitions, but the final solution will never be as expected by those who suffer losses.
So basically whatever efforts the Barcelona president makes will not change anything.

Of course Lamine Yamal is valuable asset for Barcelona because he is still very young and has quite great talent, he really has great potential and this is why Barcelona uses him quite often as an important player.
Although he is not the only player who can join big team at very young age.
By the way, PSG seems to be still trying to bring in Lamine Yamal and PSG is preparing 200 million euros to be able to get Lamine Yamal.

With the financial conditions that Barcelona is currently experiencing, it is the right decision to retain Xavi as coach. Because of course it will be difficult to find a new Barcelona coach who suits the players' playing style and also suits Barcelona's current finances. So this news will certainly feel very positive for Barcelona and also the fans who want Xavi to continue coaching at Barcelona. And for Barcelona players too, this news will certainly be very happy. The reason is that of course no one thought that Xavi would give up his intention to leave Barcelona, ​​after receiving the heavy pressure that Xavi experienced from Barcelona fans. The reason is, in almost all football news media, it is reported that Xavi will leave Barcelona at the end of this season. So most people who read the news will believe it. The reason is, the reason Xavi wants to leave Barcelona is quite reasonable, namely because Barcelona fans think he is not suitable to coach Barcelona.

However, it seems that management at Barcelona has succeeded in convincing Xavi so that Xavi is willing to continue coaching Barcelona.
And I am sure this will have a very good impact on Barcelona's progress in the coming season. The reason is, next season, Xavi has many things he can learn from this season to make Barcelona shine even more in European football. So I will be really looking forward to this upcoming season.

I read the news and I was surprised and happy because Xavi will continue to coach Barcelona until the end of next season.
This is the news source that I read.

seems Joan Laporta has succeeded in getting Xavi to continue coaching the Barcelona team again and I think what Laporta has done is a good thing because I think Barcelona really needs Xavi and with this news I agree with what Laporta is doing.

I think in the next season Xavi will definitely try to make Barcelona better and maybe next season Barcelona can reach 1st place in Laliga. and to be honest, I also think that if Xavi leaves Barcelona at the end of this season, I personally will be worried about Barcelona's performance next season. However, by not leaving Xavi, of course I think this will have a good impact on Barcelona and the Barcelona players will certainly not be awkward anymore.

What do you think about Xavi not leaving Barcelona? Are you sure that Xavi Not leaving will make Barcelona better next season?

Xavi has led Barca since November 2021, helping the "Catalan giant" win La Liga and the Spanish Super Cup in the 2022/23 season. After 137 matches in all competitions, Xavi achieved a win rate of 62.04% (85 wins, 24 draws, 28 losses). This is a very impressive number, given the team's current situation. After Xavi's departure announcement, Barca played much better. The team's leadership also tried to find a replacement for him, but they realized that no one was more suitable for the team than the legendary Xavi.

I see one of the significant obstacles Xavi faces in staying: he wants to have new contracts this summer to strengthen the squad. But Barca have ruled out signing big names and it seems any transfer could be difficult due to their unclear financial situation. This could be another difficult season for Xavi. I think this will be the wrong decision for Xavi to continue to stay. Then, the fans and the management team will blame Xavi if the team cannot perform well next season. Because that is the nature and burden of a coach, no matter where the cause comes from, they blame the leader.

Yes, as a strong team in La Liga, Real Madrid really showed its prowess, but Manchester City, which is a strong team in the EPL, had to swallow the bitter pill because it failed to advance to the semifinals.

The achievements achieved by Real Madrid are certainly very good this season, yes of course I personally think that Real Madrid has great potential to become champions in Laliga, but of course in the Champions League we won't know who will be champions because the current team a strong team. . However, many people are favorites for Real Madrid to become champions in the UCL because Real Madrid successfully beat last season's UCL champions, namely Manchester City. Yes, when Real Madrid plays Bayern, of course there is great potential for Real Madrid to win, but of course it won't be easy to beat Bayern.

It seems that in Laliga, Vinicius and his friends will have the potential to win trophies this season because the number of points they have obtained is certainly very different from Girona and Barcelona. Yes, I personally also hope that Ancelotti can make Real Madrid even greater because of course the matches in Laliga are not finished yet, of course there are still teams that must be played against, as well as in the UCL.

Yeah these 2 teams missed points in the last few games even though we know they are in a race to win a ticket to the Champions League next season, Athletic Bilbao is 3 points behind at the moment they should have been able to take advantage when Atletico Madrid was defeated by Alaves but unfortunately no, Bilbao only played a draw against Granada. I doubt Bilbao can catch Atletico Madrid in the remaining 6 matches unless Bilbao can beat Atletico in the upcoming match on April 28 and the problem is that Atletico Madrid will play at home is certainly very difficult to beat them when playing at home moreover, lately Atletico Madrid is starting to be consistent by winning a few matches.

This is a great news for Barcelona, because I believe that they can't find a better manager than Xavi who knows very well the club culture, philosophy and has emotional bond to the club. he has proved himself to be a good coach with a league title in his first season, despite having financial problem that made the club couldn't provide a proper backing for him. This season is unfortunate for Xavi to lose Busquet, because Busquet was a big help for Xavi on and off the pitch with his experience and tactical aspects. I believe the vulnerable defense this season has anything to do with the absence of Busquet to cover the defense line.

Laporta should give Xavi a good backing to prepare his tactical plan for next season. They need to sign a good striker and also strengthen other positions. They also need to pay attention to their medical department which needs to improve their effort to avoid players getting unnecessary injuries, because it is the biggest reason for the failure this season.

Surely, both real Madrid and Barcelona have done their best in this match. And Real Madrid also deserved this victory.
For some reason, Real Madrid can often really turn things around in the last minutes of the match. For this reason, whoever your opponent is, you need to always be alert until the final whistle is blown. In this case, El Clasico is always thrilling and makes people curious about who will win it. However, in the last 2 matches this season, Real Madrid did better and were better prepared. And of course, the hope is for Real Madrid to not only win the La Liga trophy, but also the Champions League trophy this season.

Finally they did it.
Keeping Xavi is the right decision for Barcelona. Because it is Xavi who so far has the greatest potential and is able to manage the club from downturn. No coach or football manager is perfect, but Xavi did it better. even if they lose Xavi, who knows who can do as well as the Xavi Barcelona can get for now.

And Xavi's decision to want to stay at Barcelona is also very worthy of appreciation. because after all, we got to see how disappointed and depressed he was. However, in the end, Xavi was able to control himself and make peace with everyone. It certainly won't be easy for him to decide to finally stay at Barcelona, at least until 2025. But this decision is quite proud.

After much insistence, it seems that the president of Barcelona finally won and managed to convince Xavi to stay at Barcelona for another season, probably what must have made Xavi change his decision, it was the last games he played with PSG and Real Madrid in both games the referee made suspicious decisions, in any case I hope xavi can win the league next season

this season barcelona played 32 games and won 21 games, while real madrid played 32 games and won 25 games. So we see that there is no big difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid. Xavi is a good coach, Barcelona's biggest problem this season is in defense. we just need to see that in 32 games Barcelona conceded 37 goals, while Real Madrid conceded 22 goals in 32 games. Last season Barcelona won the league because they had a good defense, they ended the season with less than 20 goals conceded if memory serves me correctly. Congratulations to the president of Barcelona and to Xavi for agreeing to continue at Barcelona, he is doing a good job
