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...))
Last season Xavi was able to win the La Liga but failed in the European competition. This season was not much commendable since they missed the league title and also didn't do well in Europe. Xavi deserve to have another season and I am happy Joan Laporte and Deco made it happen. I don't think we have many coaches that can manage the club to this level with a very constrained budget.
Ancelotti is a great coach, he is able to read the situation well, in the UCL match against Man City, Madrid's ball possession was only around 32% but they managed to withstand attack after attack by Man City, in the penalty shootout, the Madrid squad very calm, they won very fairly at home to Man City. In the current Spanish league, Madrid are already champions, against Sociedad in 2 days will just be an ordinary match for Madrid. As usual, Madrid is a tough team, they really are the winning team in any league.
There are only a few clubs in Europe that can stand the fierce attacking style of Manchester City. I would say that Real was just fortunate to win the game because City had 33 shirts and 9 was on target. Madrid will have an easier game with Bayern Munich because the German side is not as strong as City. Winning the Champions League and the La Liga will be a good parting gift for Carlo Ancelotti since there were speculations that he is considering coaching a national team.
