Xavi improved this game, it's the first game that he doesn't get a red and blame the ref. However, apparently the problem this time, wasn't the pitch, the sun, the time like he said before, this time apparently the problem was that the game was 90 min long, as he said they were great for the first 60.

Agreed. Laporta knew the club was in financial straits and had a Manager willing to pay his own way to come there and manage when they had no money. Even after Messi left. Instead of supporting that Manager, Laporta let his ego get in the way, made a pissing contest with him, fired him and brought in an inexperienced Manager he felt compelled to justify, by mortgaging the club's future to give him over 250m Euros to spend.
I've said this before and I'll say it again; Barcelona should concentrate and try to solve their own problems first before blaming the referees and VAR for their demise.

@@BarcaFan1899I guess we need another season to see if that was a one time thing, because as I recall, Barcelona were grinding out 1-0 wins with an incredible defensive performances, far outperforming their XG and Real Madrid far underperforming their XG. So we will see.
To be honest with or without his announcement about leaving Barcelona, did you really think that they had a chance of winning something this season. After he announced that he was leaving Barcelona in January, all of a sudden the team was playing better they were making a late push for La Liga and there was a feeling that they could go all the way in the champions league as they had a favorable bracket to get to the final. Many people were convincing Xavi to have a change in heart and stay at the club. They’ve lost 3 out of their last 4 games even before changing his mind to stay at the club their season was already over following back to back losses to PSG and Real Madrid respectively in the champions league and La Liga. Girona have beaten them home and away this season and Real Madrid has already clinched the title. By the time they had an upturn in form, the title race in the league was already over and they never really had much of a chance to win the champions league, this was a silver lining and Barcelona fans can keep blaming injuries VAR referees etc, what they need to worry about is resolving their own problems and stop whining about refs and coming up with excuses. Nothing was gonna change for them even when they were playing better because they’re inconsistent and they can’t deliver in big games.

If a team has to depend on a 36 year old striker the whole season, if there are players like Ferran Torres, Sergi Roberto, Oriel Romeu, Cancelo, still playing regularly, it says there is something wrong with this club. In professional football there is no space for emotional attachments. The club pays you and you play for them. Saying he is from La Masia and he should be our captain and hang on there until he turns 60 is redicukes. A club to win in modern football should have a ruthless mentality from top to the bottom together with quality players and a coach who is courageous and unbiased.

LMAOO, you Xavi lovers are something else. This Barca squad is filled of players that XAVI wanted. Also, to say that this squad isn’t good is crazy. He has Lewa, Yamal, Pedri, FDJ, Gundo, Christensen, Kounde, Araujo, Cancelo, MATS, etc. and you say that? Give Pep or Luis Enrique this squad and they would be on the verge of winning the treble. Xabi Alonso’s squad ON PAPER is nowhere near Barca’s squad, but the thing that Leverkusen has is a great manager to lead them.
Seriously though, I think Xavi is taking on a lot of risk on his coaching career by staying in Barca for a bother year. Barca have no assets to get him quality talent next year. They got leva who seems to be at the twilight of his career, you don’t have a true forward otherwise. You are heavily relying on Yamal. Your defense has made some bad mistakes but seems like you’re stuck giving the same mins to the same players. All that, and you’re asked to compete with a Madrid side who may be getting better next year if sign Mbappe. You’re only silver lining is the return of Gavi and Pedri who seem quite immature. If I’m Xavi, I am primed to be sacrificed as the scape goat next year, and the club seem ready to not back you up.

Xavi lives off that league from last season, but he isn’t a great manager. He cries about refs, he gets red cards every game, he has 0 tactics or a backup plan when he starts to lose, he says we play well when we lose games by like 4 goals LOL. Yea, you are right, this manager is wonderful. Alonso is miles ahead of Xavi as a manager. Give Xabi Alonso this squad and he would be on the verge of winning us a treble.
It is rather weird how Barca was bad and then when Xavi announced that he is leaving they immediately started playing well. And now that he announced that he is staying they immediately started to fall apart again. Probably a coincidence but it's strange.

Xavi is a master of excuses, I was very surprised when this became apparent when he started coaching Barcelona... couldn't imagine him having the same attitude when he was a player
So many dubbed as 'New Messi'. Where're they now?
I've never seen this guy talk about any other club this much when they loose
Yes ☠️
I don't understand why Larpote and Barcelona board decide to keep Xavi. The coaching staff need an overhaul, so Xavi need to go
"go and have a look at how many goals we've conceded on corners" Yeah, you're conceding goals on corners because you have two fewer men there to win the first ball.
Xavi was a very dynamic player but a passive manager
Barca needs a squad overhaul they have to either reduce their wage bill or sell players that are causing this bill as well as players that don’t suit their style of play.
Madridista want Xavi to stay with Barcelona.
Real Madrid will definitely go with Courtois for their cl 2nd leg against Bayern... No way they go with lunin...
Whatever can ne said about Xavi... the levers failed. A club in a deep financial hole sold off assets on the hope that doing so would strengthen them on the pitch, which would make up for the financial cost. The improved a bit last year while the league regressed around them, and they regressed this year while the league improved around them. They're left with a squad full of holes that they can't afford to fill.
Stop playing annoying music during a conversation.
Xavi has no shame. He has proven time and time again to be baise because the criticism to player and measuring stick is not the same for the whole time. Xavi did very well upon arrival and flowing into the next season where he won the title, with less options but now because of his emotional attachment to certain players we are failing. He trust Ferran Torres more than Raphinah for example. It ridiculous, there are players that committed heart and soul to this team but I don't know what they must do for Xavi to have the same patience with them as he did with Ferran and Dembele.
Announce you're leaving then that you're staying. Real will be stronger next season, what titles can you get? This will likely mess up his managerial career unless can lead a young team to a domestic cup victory and maybe somehow a deep run in UCL. Should get rid of some of the vets like Lewa and let the kids start and play.
I'm starting to suspect this espn
XAVI should leave.
Xavi will regret making a U-turn on leaving the club.... It's almost like his players lost their edge after that announcement, Now we're seeing the Barcelona from before a month ago..... Seems like he definitely needs to announce his departure again 😂😂😂😂😂
