Barcelona manager Xavi received a red card due to which he could miss three games back-to-back. After his second sent-off during this season of La Liga. His anger burst out the referee during Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid. The scoreline was 3-0 in favor of Barcelona that’s where Xavi was seen breaking down in anger which caught the referee’s attention.
Is it a Life and Death situation for Barcelona?
Barcelona are in a perfect spot in the La Liga. They are just eight points behind Real Madrid to be in the top spot. With 29 matches played in La Liga, 19 victories, seven draws, and only three losses. Barcelona made a strong statement to the other clubs. Xavi’s masterclass also brought back their players their chance to participate in the Champions League quarterfinals.
However, due to the sent-off from 3 matches could impact Barca’s managerial tactic as well as their in-game guidance and strategies. After Xavi’s temporary dismissal as a manager, their three matches are up against Las Palmas, Cadiz, and the “Los Blancos” Real Madrid.
It could be a dangerous situation for Barcelona. In other words, there is a threatening situation where Barcelona could drop points as Girona. Therefore Girona is 3rd in La Liga and they could come up to the 2nd position, as they are just two points behind Barcelona.
High stakes for Barcelona as Xavi leaves at the end of the season?
Barcelona has a history of the greatest coaches in football. However, Barcelona changed 4 managers in the time period of seven years. In the end, Xavi made a shocking announcement that he would be leaving Barcelona. Xavi said: “I want to announce that on June 30 I will not continue as coach of Barcelona,”. The former Barcelona player said: “I decided a few days ago, but I think it’s time. The club needs a change of dynamic.”

There are many high stakes for Barcelona. Xavi announced his retirement due to his 5-3 loss against Villarreal. This could be a lower point moment for Barcelona because there are no hopes for Barcelona due to the player’s mid-performance in La Liga. Or maybe somehow it was done to encourage their players when Ronaldinho did the same with Lionel Messi which encouraged him to score thrice against Real Madrid.
Barcelona in a Threating position in the El Classico?
Real Madrid will take on Barcelona on April 22nd. Which might decide the fate of Xavi, while he will be out there might be some naive advice from his assistant manager. While Real Madrid, Barca’s finest rival can’t afford to lose this match. With the strong side of Real Madrid, in the last five matches, Madrid managed to beat Barcelona 3 times. This is the match Xavi can’t afford to miss.
Stay tuned for the results, as how Xavi manages to break free of this misery.
