Barcelona has undergone a rebuild without Messi for the last two seasons.
Former president Joan Laporta saw off Messi at the time, hoping that the young players would be able to bring the team back to the top without Messi. However, it backfired, and Barcelona struggled with Xavi's coaching and the level of the players.
As it stands, Barcelona are only third in La Liga, far behind the leaders.
In this round of the Champions League, Barcelona lost to Shakhtar.
It became a crucial match that crushed Xavi. The opponent is only worth 1A weak team of 500 million euros, but Barcelona did nothing in attack, with only one shot on target in the whole game.
In response to Xavi's coaching achievements, X**ier Valls, the host of Catalan TV3's Onze program, directly criticized him.
He said that the problem is not in terms of fitness and tactics, but that the team has completely lost confidence and needs more training.
For the two years that Xavi has led the team, ** and the fans are far more disappointed than happy, and Xavi has more excuses than celebrations. Fans were equally disappointed, expecting a lot from Xavi after Barça had assembled a valuable squad.
However, in the last two seasons of the Champions League, Xavi has not led the team to impressive performances.
Another upset in the Champions League this season has made the fans' disappointment with him even deeper.
During the winter window, the Barcelona hierarchy also took ruthless measures, informing Xavi that the team lost 2.8 million euros in winning bonuses because of the defeat in this game. And the team is unable to bring in new players, Xavi needs to use his existing squad closely.
Xavi's departure may be just around the corner, and if problems arise again in the Champions League this season, he could lose his managerial seat.
Barcelona have struggled to rebuild without Messi, while Xavi's coaching and players' performances have been criticised.
The fans and ** have become increasingly disappointed with him, and his departure has become an inevitable possibility. At this critical juncture, Barcelona needs to better adjust their tactics and the form of their players to find new breakthroughs.
Only then will they be able to regain the top spot in La Liga and regain their Champions League glory.
Otherwise, they will not be able to meet the expectations of the fans and will not be able to salvage Xavi's coaching seat.
Hopefully, Barcelona can show better form and performance in the next games and regain the confidence and support of the fans. To sum up, Barcelona rebuilt without Messi, but Xavi's coaching and player standards were overrated, and Barca struggled to finish third and suffered a shock defeat to Shakhtar in the Champions League.
Xavi was criticized by **, believing that the team lacked confidence and tempering. Fans were also disappointed with Xavi, who built the team to win the Champions League but did not achieve good results.
The hierarchy ruthlessly informed Xavi of the loss of 2.8 million euros in winning bonuses, and if the Champions League continues to go wrong, Xavi could be sacked. In the whole situation, Barcelona rebuilt without Messi in a difficult situation, Xavi's coaching performance was criticized, and the fans and ** were disappointed in him.
