Xavi first season or second season xavi win two title with not a fully fit squad this man need to get some respect

[@anweshchatterjee7595]

This season wasn't bad enough, man wants to go out losing 3 more classicos and getting knocked out of the ucl playing with 8 men against Spurs. Respect.

[@spanishguy818]

Or maybe, think of this option. MAYBE the man might want to redeem himself and feels he can improve

[@AllInTheGame01]

More concerned about Athletic Club finishing in that 4th CL spot ahead of Atletico Madrid 🤞

[@rdvgrd6]

Excellent news for Real Madrid!

[@solarenergynow08]

The bearded host is trying to create more drama where there is none...Barcelona has no money and Xavi wants to stay now.. at his childhood club?? it does not get any better in world football for a coach than managing Barcelona or Real Madrid...

[@nayden5834]

Strange one

[@tonchanthol5329]

good

[@user-ze8mk8dw9i]

I remember the journalist when asked him if he's going to change his mind and he said "no" He didn't keep his word ... Another 0 title waiting for Xahhhvi and Barcehhhhlona

[@Anon-Man.]

This is good news for RM. Next year Mbappe, Endrik and Vini is going to have fun with Xavi's Barcelona, lol

[@CG68810]

They will be too busy fighting with each other. Once Mbappe shows up Vinny, Rodrygo, and Bellingham will have to take a backseat. Trust and believe it sounds like a dream team but it will for sure be a nightmare managing all those egos.

@@CG68810 it will be galatico team 2.0 fail

[@angeodeleo]

Xavi is just not good and experienced enough. Barca deserves a top coach.

[@LA155en]

Agreed. They should try and get Klopp in for a rebuild after his break. Give him a year to rest. then hire him

[@zeus3086]

But Barca is a scam club. Xavi is retained only coz no other coach would work for free.

[@TheSoughtOut2025]

@@LA155en I am doubtful about Klopp to be honest - Pep or Luis Enrique for me. Bold coaches that don’t mind benching big players.

[@Coffeecaffeineee]

Pep wasn't experienced at all when he became Barca's coach, don't forget that

[@angeodeleo]

@@Coffeecaffeineee Cruyff was masterminding and guiding his first steps

[@barca-vibe]

I bet all real madrid fans running to refs to save them again next season Wait for negreira news be back on again next season

[@pupysalsa]

He is a bad person and no have any credibility whatsoever.liar,liar your pants on fire😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
