He literally said nothing wrong or untrue and he’s getting fired
He literally accepted defeat from Madrid even before the season ahead starts 😂
I mean yeah. Their team is stacked + against their getting Mbappe.
@@eL--RaLso he is wrong for being logical?
@@YoungKing50Well,as a coach he still should be instilling a better mentality,plus reports are saying he told Laporta he believed in the squad
It might be true but nobody running a football club wants to be told the club is a dumpster fire 🤷♂
Laporta can't seem to stick to his word. Same treatment with Messi.
C@talan's are known to lie and manipulate reality for political reasons. Idk how many times they lied about things that are now all coming out to the light. Sandro Rosell, former President of Barça and former president of Nike in Brazil, once said 'we didn't even have color printer cartridges so we forced everyone to print in black and white." Same guy lied about the true transfer fee of Neymar from the '57million euro' to actually costing the team well over 200million euros (accounting for 40% of the hedge fund that owned Neymar's future transfer, paying his dad's company 25%, salary, and Santos receiving, no kidding, 17 million for Neymar's transfer. Neymar's camp originally negotiated with Madrid for 150million euros, but Florentino said no to it due to all the things I listed about his transfer middlemen costs. Laporta is no different, he kissed Messi's jersey and kicked him out but kept Pique and now extended Sergi Roberto's contract, why? Catalan Independence supporters. Kick backs to their people, and zero for the fans.
Laporta is a tool that came back to FC Barcelona with a more than far fetched plan and a plan that is more embarrassing than him which is the creation of the Euro Super League. That was all Laporta had up his sleeve for a big financial boost for FC Barcelona and surely when a silly dream like that didn't happen or will never happen then Laporta like a crazy clown started pulling all them levers and did everything else coz he panicked and had no real vision or concrete plan to begin with
It is not Laporta’s fault that Bartemou has ruined the club.
@@NaserHekmat Yes its not Laporta's fault that Bartomeu ruined the club if Laporta was a supporter and a fan.
However, since Laporta got himself reelected to become Barca president again and of course all of Bartomeu's mess was well documented but the fact that Laporta was playing at nostalgia without any realistic vision or plans means Laporta's is as bad as Bartomeu and clearly it shows today in terms of how FC Barcelona as a whole is worse not better in the long run.
Pls don't give a bonehead defence bring something real and factual to the table. Smh....ROFL.....
Is the mentality! He is already given up before the season starts.
What if Xavi purposely said those comments to try to make Joan Laporta mad and fire him to make Laporta look bad. I mean he wanted to leave anyways. 😂
😂
Think again, why would he want Laporta to look bad? What does he get from it?
@fatih8053 well with all the circus we've seen throughout the season, I'm ready for a change, not just the coach, but the staff, some players, the board... and laporta.
My patience is running out with LaPorta as he's been lying to the fans: the messi situation, all the hope about our financial situation when in reality we seem to be going from bad to worse.
Yup and lets not forget the 20 million euros Xavi will be paid now if Laporta fires him because for sure Xavi won't stick to I won't take a dime statement.
@@2edge23 Exactly!!! Laporta's incompetence surely unraveled starting with the Messi situation and if you follow from there you can really see that Laporta's only BS plan to give FC Barcelona a financial boost was the Euro Super League which never came to fruition obviously and so then he started pulling all them levers like a clown and doing back alley deals which of course made the club's situation good for the short term but worse for the long term.
This guy Laporta is nothing more than a used car salesman and its a disgrace he is the President of FC Barcelona. Smh....
If Xavi believes Barca can't compete why bother? More than 80, 000 people come to the stadium with hope and believe everyone knows its hard to compete with Real Madrid but if the coach doesn't believe on his team who else to believe in the project?
Exactly!
To correct Gab, it was Deco who traveled not Laporta to meet Flick
He also has no clue about barcas finances and tgat they are almost at the 1 to 1 rule meaning they can sign players again.
@@seanstrangeway457yep 😂
No the lapdog Deco did fly to London but the official business was to finalise one of the trainers or head trainers that will join for next season. Of course I'm sure Deco hollered to Flick but again unless the finances of FC Barcelona changes overnight its just hollering and Flick knows at this stage in his coaching career he himself cannot afford another disastrous run so the answer will most likely stay the same which is its not the right time to coach FC Barcelona
@@seanstrangeway457 Yes but they have to sell some of these so called players first and trust me it will be hard to sell them because surely other clubs will lowball knowing what they know of FC Barcelona situation and also to get the players themselves to go will be even more difficult because players have a say in being sold or they'll just go for free when their contracts are up. Get yourself up to speed with footballing transfer matters pal
Only in fc barcelona you are begged to stay only to be sacked a week later! what a circus!!
After seeing how Koeman was treated when he was given zero money to spend after Messi left, I don’t know why Xavi just expected the money to keep rolling in after being given over 250m Euros to spend. And I don’t feel sorry for Laporta when he had a guy who was willing to stay even with the financial issues and treated him like garbage.
La porta seems to not know how to maintain respect for people he no longer "needs" - that is a terrible leader
@@mzwakhe8779 This is how he was during his first stint as President too. Half the board resigned and he barely staved off getting voted out. And then exhausted Pep to the point that he left.
Should I laugh at Barcelona staff members or Bayern (that are approaching Kompany)
Barca already has a new coach: Hansi Flick 🔴🔵
Thank you Xavi for everything forever our Legend 6
Xavi should have been sacked even before he announced he’s leaving after the season end, and hopefully he goes together with Ferran Torres, Eric Garcia, Roberto and Alonso wherever he goes. Barca need to keep Felix and keep Roque for the future giving him decent playing time.
Felix??? If that's your thinking, you need to go with Xavi as well and the rest.... What a idiot 🙄
There goes another Felix fanboy...
You need to get sacked 😂 with them plans
After reading the released official statement, yes.
I would have sacked him too. He showed weakness by making excuses for why he would not do good next season. If he doesn’t believe he can find success with the current Barca resources then hire someone else who does.
ESPN is so dumb. This was never about "comments".
Laporta and his goons should just resign at this point for turning the club into a joke
So telling the truth which the whole world knew gets him fired? Only Laporta is that idiotic to come out and say everything is fantastic we are in great shape. Xavi should leave they don’t deserve him
Yup that is Laporta the used car salesman, misdirection.
What Laporta did was pathetic and rolling on the floor laughing s**t. Laporta said everything is fantastic while desperately trying to get the Euro Super League started which was a silly dream to being with and for obvious reasons it never materialised duh!!! and now Laporta has his hands on his own candy culo with a club in ruins. Even in small business when you try a far fetched ridiculous idea you usually go broke so imagine that
The problem with xavi isn't about what he said. But is about the winning mentality. The season isn't yet started is already talking negatively about the Team!
Even this season Xavi was always trying to play the underdog gimmick.
Really? You part of the barca board or something?? 😂
Anyways, Barca treating their legend like that will comeback to haunt them.
I think Xavi would leave just like Pochettino left Chelsea
They can't afford to sack him it'll cost them 22 Million to part ways with Xavi and his coaching staff which im sure they won't waste considering their financial situation. Also i don't think Pep Or Enrique would come back in 2025 so may be Rafael Marquez (Realistically) or Thiago Motta might take over in 2025. Doubt Hansi Flick and Mourinho may come as a surprise option, crazy right?! Watch this space 👀
True football analytical mind, yup I fully agree with the assessment. Yes it will cost FC barcelona over 20 mil euros if they sack Xavi which would damper their summer plans for whomever the new coach is and add that to the already existing financial problems of the club no a Flick or even a potential to be top tier coach will certainly not want to come now. Especially Flick since he needs to revamp himself after his disastrous run as German national coach.
Pep, for sure will never come back because he has conquered everything in club football and plus he is spoiled in a very good way by Man City owners so if you worked with that kind of competence, freedom, and convenience its hard to go elsewhere. If anything Pep might consider conquering major national team trophies with Spain. He's done with club football.
@@P4P1980 True that mate great analysis by you too 🤝💯
@@RaviTeja-rs2ql Thanks mate calling it as it is
look at the news again 🤡
He is not fired yet......
Xavi announces he’s leaving Barcelona.
Barcelona beg Xavi to stay.
Xavi agrees to stay.
Barcelona sack Xavi.
LEGENDARY EXIT!!!
What he say so bad?
Bayern and Barca want 1 year managers until they can get Pep or Klopp!
Its sickening how they keep changing coaches around when its really the mentality of these players...i bet if they bring in pep himself ...same results🙃
I disagree one of the main problems with any club starts with the coach
Just look at Manchester united they aren’t the same since Alex Ferguson left
Pep wont win much with this current Barca but i am sure wont lose home vs teams like Girona and Villareal for 2-4 , 2-5
You sound like the United fans that want Ten Hag to stay
@@metrobooming7449 🤣🤣🤣🤣
La Porta & Deco must also take blame
....passing the buck will not solve Barca's problems. Xavi is working with what he has inherited. It would be sad if La Porta let's Xavi go!
Let him go, Great player, apparently doesn't mean a similar trainer.
2nd in the league is good isn't for a team full of has beens and youth kids
Xavi is the worst manager I have ever seen.
Complaining about every thing reffere, gras is to high or to low, not good enough squad etc.
Barcelona have good team, having want only play Spanish players that's problematic.
Real Madrid have ancelotti otherwise they wouldn't even make the group stage.
Too many problems with Barca since Messi left
Bartomeu is our devil
The silly money they paid Messi, among others, created these problems.
@urbanegorilla6005 coz Messi marking Barcelona in that years relevant
@@urbanegorilla6005 Messi brought in millions to the club. Barca paid him a bargain. The same was confirmed by PSG president Khelaifi when Messi was at PSG and that he hopes Messi doesn't ask more even though it'd be fair
Xavi staying stop the cap 🧢
Its official he's been sacked
As a Madridista ,we want Xavi to stay 😂😂😂
You clearly have no respect he took the Title from you his first season, and is one of the great midfielders to ever play this game. Stupid kid this is why people hate Madrid arrogant fools you are
Barca Bayern clown off, Barca might win vs Bayern finally. Xavi said he would leave and laporta begged him to stay, he stays. Then xavi actually speaks the truth for once and laporta is mad and wants to fire him, which will cost them even more money and make them even more broke.😂
Barcelona handled this very poorly but I agree, Xavi needs to go, he has a very weak mentality. I mean I'd rather he stay, I'm a Madrid fan
I really hope he leaves ,his job is done now its time for another manager to takeover. Barca need a calm and matured manager on the sidelines
Barça, THE GOAT club needs to wake up and sort their mess 💙❤️🐐
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣indians are hilarious af ngl
lil indian saw messi played for varca on fifa so chose them🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Blaze26909Barca has delusional fans all over the world. Why are you only targeting Indian Barca fans??
Well said and its the cold harsh reality of FC Barcelona today. But sad to say we have fake parasites wanting to latch onto our clubs and act like cry babies, spew nonsense, or worse be in denial about the current situation of the club.
At this point Laporta and Xavi are playing 8d chess
Thats too bad... Us madridistas loved xavi😅
Yeah while Barca and real have the same no of wins under Xavi and also first coach to win laliga without Messi too idk what he smoking mate😂😂
Xavi, just forget it, move on find another club or just retire, can’t reason with the loonies at Barcelona!
We need Nagelsmann NOT Flick but unfortunately he's not leaving the German job anytime soon
Nagelsmann is the only amazing tactician out there aside Pep
stick to cricket 0 ball knowledge 🤣🤣🤣
Bro watched the purist football's video
Shame to laporta
Xavi doesn't deserve to be kicked out like this
Btw Manchester United have just won the fa cup beating city, does that mean the haters nichol & burley will now go into meltdown ha ha ha ha... can't wait to hear the excuses being lined up.
Didn't say anything wrong but barca need a Flick at this point....FLICK IN!!!!
Lol what a joke of a club.
He sucks, get hansi flick
Both Xavi and Laporte need to go, along with at least a third of the squad.
All I can say is that I'm glad Xavi is being sacked. He is a terrible manager with non-existent tactics and seems like a headlees chicken flailing about on the touchline. This may not have been the prettiest way to go about it but the man must leave now. I can't stand the sight of him managing this club ever again.
