Correction: Sid Lowe and ESPN FC aren’t celebrating Xavi staying because they had some type of odd fascination with seeing him get sacked. These “pundits” really think their opinions matter. They don’t. I’m glad Xavi is staying and hope he has lots of success at Barca. These “pundits” just enjoy seeing managers, players, and teams fail because that is all this show knows. They don’t know how to analyze without being negative. It’s always their default.

You're comment has litterally just said, "I love Xavi and I want him to stay and succeed. And anybody that says other wise has an odd fascination." You all are so up your own @ss. Xavi is bad very very bad and he is stuborn. Not only that but there was a better candidate for his job called Hansi Flick who would add something to this team called MENTALITY. Something we surely did not see against PSG and Real Madrid in the Copa de españa final. Hansi Flick not only would have added mentality but this team as a whole would defend better from back to front.

In terms of La Liga games abroad, what the league needs is more fans who follow it in general, and not just games involving Real Madrid or Barcelona. Too high a % of La Liga fans support one of, and only care about, the big two.

This might be the moment Xavi’s Barcelona legacy is destroyed. If he had left he’d leave on his own terms. Barcelona is in a terrible situation financially and structure. All the odds are against Xavi and the likelihood of him failing is very high

Luis Garcia is such a biased Pundit, its beyond embarrassing.

This is just ridiculous. I'm a Real Madrid fan and I still don't like the way they talk about Xavi. I think if you look at the absolute chaos that Laporta and Xavi inherited, they have done a pretty good job of righting the ship.

I have been a fan of barcelona since 1991. I have seen many barca teams including cruyff barcelona. Xavi was great player and legend but he has not been coaching good football. This team has been playing ugly since last season even when we won. Getting more players is not the answer and will not solve the problem of playing badly . Playing badly is coaching problem . We will get new players and play the same football .

Yup been a culer since 2006 and all my brothers at FC Barcelona feel this is the right decision moving forward. Only thing that is divided is the happiness meaning some are really genuinely happy about Xavi staying and some are happy because we understand that the club finances and hierarchy are in a peril with no quick recovery coming. Either way, its the right decision moving forward unless one of these cry baby fake Barca fans wants to invest their own money into the club and have it their way

Maybe not but no one is sad either. The only good thing that could have happened if Barca signed a world class coach that had won ucl - no other projects with newly managers would do better than Xavi

All due respect to Sid, but his comments about how people feel about Xavi staying are just factually incorrect The reactions in spanish-speaking sites in particular have been overwhelmingly positive. I have friends who are socios and they are happy with the decision Sid is either ignorant or he's lying.

True, can't take anything serious from the team

I'm happy he's staying. It's the best decision under the circumstances. He's done a very good job bringing in extremely young players from La Masia who have preformed beyond all expectations. What's he supposed to do when Barça is broke? We still almost made it to CL semifinal. People who think this is bad are detached from reality. Which big name manager would join Barça in this state and do a better job?

xavi should sign for man utd. i bet he would beat peps city team

The man did good in his first season... he comes 2nd in the league and reached quarter finals in the champion league.. you cannot blame him for the results.. the players literally beat themselves... against psg, arajuo made an amateur error and against madrid, lamal goal was not given... we have to remember that this same thing happened to pep as well.. pep's first season was not good either...

It’s the right decision, there are no other suitable alternatives and his promotion and development of the youngsters has been good. So let him continue for another year, if the results are the same but the youngsters continue to progress then in 12 months let him go at the end of his contract and bring in an experienced manager who can take them forward.

Xavi said that; I have an unfinished business. His business to finish Barcelona

Xavi has made some strange team selection dicisions and I think it's a financial dicision for him to stay!

YESS we are celebrating it... Even if some ppl don't like it, it's only right to be with him cuz he's gonna see next season through

Xavi has actually exceeded expectations considering his inexperience, Barça’s financial crisis, and all the player injuries. True Barça fans know we are still in a rebuilding period and it will take time. But he, Deco, and the young players in the team are working towards building a solid core for the future. They just need to stay healthy and get stronger both physically and mentally. Vamos Xavi!!!

You have an unfinished business after saying you were done

I’m exited to see xavi stay. very thrilled

Barcelona and drama, a better love story than twilight. Not in headlines for any trophies but that same old drama.

Given the fact that Barcelona can't afford word class manager, I am slightly satisfied that Xavi is continuing. He is our best option at the moment. His one good thing is "he gives chance to youngsters"

We are celebrating because he has made LAMINE YAMAL, PAU CUBARSI, FERMIN LOPEZ, HECTOR FORT, BALDE and there will be many more next year! So apply burnol to your burnt areas, VISCA BARCA forever!!! He and team will achieve great things and even if we are going trophyless this season, the real achievement is building the team for the future and you cant argue with that! One LAMINE YAMAL is bigger than whole REAL MADRID right now, just watch the last El Clasico!! We will be back before you know it!! ❤

Ale’s argument doesn’t work. How do you explain the growth of the MLS?

Xavi vamooosssss. Espn stay out of this

🎉🥳We Celebrating Alright 🎉🥳

I am a Valencia fan and I know Laporta/Xavi played the fans here. It was all planned as a get out of a jail free card.. Also, I am sure Laporta will not have pressure to sign players and instead justify using La Masia. I see Barca getting rid of FDJ, Raphinha, etc.. So they can keep Gavi, Pedri, etc.. That will lead to a domination from Real Madrid.. Perez will maximize this opportunity unfortunately

ESPN stop nonsense plz

If Barca go back to camp nou next season and fix ffp Xavi can succeed, but if team stays the same …….

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 I'm so sick of ESPN they're a waste last season when Xavi won TWO TITLES they still didn't had anything good to say.

Xavi all the way! More discipline -- can't have howlers like Araujo's pass out and decision to foul, or Consuelo's risky defending in the box. I understand Gundogan's frustrations but I am 50-50 on whether his should be public with his calling out the HUGE unforced errors leading to playing with 10 men for much of the game -- it depends on how communications have been within the team thus far. I don't know, and you probably don't as well. I will give Gundogan the benefit of the doubt.

Finish in first place or get fired

As a journalist and pundit better complain about referee mistakes and biases in la liga.

Real Madrid, Girona, Athletic, Villareal & Granada are thrilled about this news... Nothing has changed Barca will drop another 5 or 6 points lucky for Barca Real Madrid have UCL as well otherwise it could end up 15 to 16pts difference ... another loss & a couple draws & everyone will want him out again by the end of the season... They will need to sell Araujo & FDJ to have 160 mill to spend yet who will they buy ? The fact he said regardless of winning anything hes mind is made & hes going ...
