Much more my friend 5 new La Masia stars coming in including a 15 years old center forward. There will be players sold that perform poorly or to begin with not deserve to play for Barca in the first place. Maybe some staf members leaving however Xavi still won La Liga in his first season so he has already proven he can win La Liga. Now it’s the time to do that again and keep that flow 😊
Media and fans have absolute 0 ball insight Xavi isn't a bad coach as they wish, he's great .. He has no DM, no left winger, trash coaching staffs, poor physios and no true Right back.. With all that he got Barca into QFs and even could have made it into the semis if it wasn't for Araujo's red card, unfortunately. Barca prioritize on registra role, give him that and left winger and you'll know how good he is

they like to ride the barca hate train and therefore hate xavi. he's a nice bloke and is respected by many managers throughout european teams. if they dont hate him, why would one hate a legend like him. if they manage to get 2-3 good transfers this season xavi could lead this team to another league title. the championsleague looked much more promising for barca this year than the league. there's so much potential and many of us already said he should stay because he brought that to us.

In his first announcement to leave, he heavily struck the media for making it harder for him. He has a bad habit of checking the news to hear what they say about Barcelona and him. Now with every setback they're gonna crucify him even harder.
It's good that he's staying. He needs to win a UCL and another La Liga.
Ngl Ale is speaking some sense for once. But I doubt Barca is doing this only because they cant afford a coach. Laporta would have sacked Xavi long ago if his name wasnt Xavi and if he didnt believe in him. The project that Xavi is building with this team is a good one which takes time. We’ve already seen this season signs of a team that can play vs top clubs and they only will get better.

Why is Ale and ESPN in general so pained of Xavi retaining his job? You pundits are crying more than the bereaved and should allow Barcelona and their technical crews to have some breath.
VARdrid fans are so happy at this
Ale what do you mean he did nothing defensively?! He obviously saw how horrible they were and stood firm in keeping Kounde at RB, not stumbled on Cubarsi, but he looked the only placed he could and found a better CB, and shfited Christensen to CDM, that is tactical. What more could he do?!
Barca has a project. It’s being built. No matter what all the talkers say. I’m so happy the project will not be disrupted! Forca Barca!!
When this Ali guy speaks it seems he is the Barcelona President . He does not understand Barcelona does not need to sign a whole squad because most of the La masia players are better than most players in elite squads.
On one side ale Moreno is saying that barca is doing this because of their financial situation, on the other shaka is saying why they’re doing this. Your colleague who’s sitting right beside you explained it man. So what if they first decided to let him go. Zidane was gone after his three peat for good, but he came back when they needed him. Get over it. You can discuss what this will mean football wise, rest all are just guesses.

Xavi is a good coach or manager, it is the club of Barça that was not able to fully support him with the right signings to compete properly at the highest level due to financial reasons.
Laporta probably was just honest about the club behind closed doors. And Xavi is staying for the club. They literally can not afford to replace him.
I honestly believe that Ale is subconsciously anti-Barcelona coz of all his unnecessary negative energy towards Xavi’s decision. Oooh and btw, they didn’t “stumble” on Cubasi, they made him in La Masai, the best football academy in the world. It’s what they do, it’s what they have been doing for decades.
Crazy to say that after 2 loses in a row. He said he’ll be leaving to escape humiliation. He should’ve never said that he’s leaving in the first place, he had a better season than before. But still, poor timing to say he’ll come back.
"Stumbled" hey! How do you stumble into a player you develop and watch everyday? I don't seem to understand why is this an issue to these people when someone who is on the job decides to reverse his decision.
HE'S GOT A JOB TO DO & LOOKING VERY DANGEROUS.🌟.
I’m glad he’s staying. Our season was not as bad, not ideal, but not horrible. Other teams had a worse season and no one critics them as harshly. I stand with Xavi.

Ale's analysis always seems to miss where the ref has handed Madrid 3 points on numerous weekends. Talk what you like, that matters. It was disgusting this season and ESPN overlooked it each time. Even Tebas came out to defend his team during the game regarding goal line technology. You can't make this stuff up man
@Chip_Fuse
13 күн бұрын
Only Real Madrid and Bilbao voted against Tebas's reelection and salary raise. Barcelona and every other club including second division clubs voted for him, even after knowing Tebas won't bring GLT. And Real Madrid had a goal disallowed due to lack of GLT, only this time it would've counted unlike Barca's alleged one where Cubarsi was offside and intervening with play. The only way Tebas steps down if the Spanish Sports Court suspends him on Real Madrid's complaint regarding the CVC deal, so it's down to Real Madrid to save the league, again. And Barcelona had so many penalties awarded to them in the last minute including the Gundogan dive, so Barcelona can't really blame the referees as well. Barcelona failed themselves by losing the leads vs Villarreal, PSG and Real Madrid (three times).

Xavi said the pressure was not the main reason for his announcement. He can deal with the pressure. Especially now.
Maybe he was mistaken about this club midseason? No point questioning his decision, one way or another.
As a Real Madrid fan, I am genuinely happy about Xavi’s decision to stay. He IS the right coach for the club.
You have to realize where Barcelona were before Xavi and he has definitely taking the club to where they are building the future for the club without asking for so much signing. If Xavi has learnt from previous and this season next season should be more rewarding bc now he has experience in at ucl as well. He just need a cdm and LW
How ironic hearing them talk about the press slandering Barca, when they are part of that press that pressured them and criticized them more than any other team except Man United
Barca and Xavi going to regret this decision because only reason Xavi won 🏆 because real was not strong enough and even if Xavi win league title again which only 20% chance looking at RM team next season He is not good enough to Win CL that 100%
Have you guys even watched the whole press conference? Or just chose 15 seconds of it and decided to run with it?
Leicester city CDM Wilfred Ndidi is a free agent end of season. He can play CDM, CB, RB, CM very versatile physical and creative player, perfect fit for Barca.
Every talent is „stumbled upon” Cubarsí was showing his talent in Barca B and then he proved himself in the first team.
This is not gonna end well 😢
ESPN do not understand either Xavi or FC Barcelona.
Ale barca were struggling because of injuries and they lacked a DM, Christensen was the solution not Pau
We really hope so
Nothing has changed Ale. Except that narcissists like ESPN pundits are further thrown into confusion. Xavi was never leaving in the first place.
Day by day Espn panel is loosing its credibility regarding commenting un-biasedly.
sure lets start a 16 year old every game like Cubarsi so Ale is happy he not came out of nowhere but guess what after that they say dont play a 16/17 year old every game obviously we start to play the older ones first Barca goes in the right direction and we can compete in a few years like we did in the past we just need a little more time and not getting so called experts changing their mind every week
It will end in tears Next season.
If Barca can get a proper dm and lw they’re going to explode next season. If anyone has really watched Barca weekly would understand we lack a speedy winger up top and security over our cbs, with that covered our weaknesses will be gone. Only thing left will be having balde healthy to get back to left back and returning cancelo to city or keeping cancelo to play a winger role instead of fullback.
More classicos to win for RM. Mas classicos ganar para RM!😂😅
Barca should put there head down avoid the transfer market sort there books while focusing on academy players for atleast another 3 seasons
WDLDL= I'm leaving in the end of season WWWWL = I'm staying
Xavi is clearly too hotheaded. His previous decision was a hasty one, ‘cause he was angry and desperate. We can see his true colors on the touchlines and after every game they lose or tie. This calm Xavi staying “for the good of the club” is a façade - that said, he is the best they got right now, and they won’t get anyone better.
Let's be honest. Barkalona fans are the only ones who are making the narrative about Xavi being the best coach for Barka.
You guys don't have to understand why he is staying .we understand as a barcelona fan .
What he meant is untill we drop to segunda Liga my job isn't done
yes but who would discuss the payment to the Referees for the last 18 years?
I honestly don’t get why y’all are so pained he’s staying. It’s clear Barça doesn’t have the funds to sign a world class coach so what do you want them to do sign someone who has less experience than Xavi in the top competition??! Give me a break!
This Ale guys says nonsense so what if they got a CB from nowhere who was not in the plans the important thing is Xavi took the risk to play a 16 year old and found a solution in him
Please, please, Klopp change your mind too 😫
For the first time I agree with Ale
I've never heard anything positives about from this guy. A Madrid fanboy through and through, shouldn't say anything about Barca.

They already have a young core and a very talented squad. Flick was very eager to join them and tuchel as well. The majority of the football players will always want to play for madrid or barca regardless of the money.
