FC Barcelona Manager Xavi replacement has been officially named after Champions League exit against PSG and fans did not expect this!
When they played PSG, Barcelona’s amazing 13-game perfect streak came to a sudden end. Individual mistakes cost them the Champions League.
A loss this big would normally mean some time to think and get back on track, but Barcelona can’t afford that right now because they have to play Real Madrid, which will be a very tough game.
Real Madrid comes into the upcoming Clasico with a lot of energy. They just beat Manchester City and are currently in first place in La Liga.
With such a tough opponent coming up, Barcelona needs to quickly change their attention and get ready for the important match.
Unfortunately, Coach Xavi Hernandez’s future is still unclear, but he has used this time to get the team motivated.
While his players were getting ready for practice, Xavi gave them a strong speech in which he urged them to focus all of their energy on beating Real Madrid.
Saying with all their might, “Let’s go after Madrid, no excuses!” Xavi has set the tone for how Barcelona will deal with problems.
While Real Madrid is likely to go into the Clasico with confidence, Barcelona is in a good spot.
Because of their good league form and the fact that Real Madrid’s recent long game against Manchester City was hard on their bodies, Barcelona has a real chance to close the eight-point gap in the league results.
On many levels, a win against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu this Sunday is very important for Barcelona. For starters, it would cut the gap in the league standings down to just five points, which would revive dreams of a late title run.
Also, beating their biggest foes would give Barcelona a much-needed mood boost and help them get back on track with their winning streak at a crucial point in the season.
