Correction: Sid Lowe and ESPN FC aren’t celebrating Xavi staying because they had some type of odd fascination with seeing him get sacked. These “pundits” really think their opinions matter. They don’t. I’m glad Xavi is staying and hope he has lots of success at Barca. These “pundits” just enjoy seeing managers, players, and teams fail because that is all this show knows. They don’t know how to analyze without being negative. It’s always their default.

Real Culers are actually happy with this decision period.

If xavi wasn't a club legend people would be wanting him gone

As a Real Madrid fan I'm very happy Xavi is staying 👍

ESPN stop bias

In terms of La Liga games abroad, what the league needs is more fans who follow it in general, and not just games involving Real Madrid or Barcelona. Too high a % of La Liga fans support one of, and only care about, the big two.

Real madrid practically wrapped up the title race today and Barcelona is some how still the topic. 😂❤

This might be the moment Xavi’s Barcelona legacy is destroyed. If he had left he’d leave on his own terms. Barcelona is in a terrible situation financially and structure. All the odds are against Xavi and the likelihood of him failing is very high

This is just ridiculous. I'm a Real Madrid fan and I still don't like the way they talk about Xavi. I think if you look at the absolute chaos that Laporta and Xavi inherited, they have done a pretty good job of righting the ship.

Correction Sid Lowe, i think it's only ESPN that are not happy with Xavi staying but real Culers are happy.

It’s embarrassing when you say you’re gonna leave the club whether you win trophies or you don’t and then you come out saying that you’re going to stay another season.

I have been a fan of barcelona since 1991. I have seen many barca teams including cruyff barcelona. Xavi was great player and legend but he has not been coaching good football. This team has been playing ugly since last season even when we won. Getting more players is not the answer and will not solve the problem of playing badly . Playing badly is coaching problem . We will get new players and play the same football .

Luis Garcia is such a biased Pundit, its beyond embarrassing.

WHEN it goes pear shaped mid season , I’ll be here for it 😂

I’m celebrating… visca el Barça. Hope Xavi have a lots of success

Xavi said that; I have an unfinished business. His business to finish Barcelona

Maybe not but no one is sad either. The only good thing that could have happened if Barca signed a world class coach that had won ucl - no other projects with newly managers would do better than Xavi

Wow 😮Sid is an actual journalist Learnt so much

Xavi has actually exceeded expectations considering his inexperience, Barça’s financial crisis, and all the player injuries. True Barça fans know we are still in a rebuilding period and it will take time. But he, Deco, and the young players in the team are working towards building a solid core for the future. They just need to stay healthy and get stronger both physically and mentally. Vamos Xavi!!!

All due respect to Sid, but his comments about how people feel about Xavi staying are just factually incorrect The reactions in spanish-speaking sites in particular have been overwhelmingly positive. I have friends who are socios and they are happy with the decision Sid is either ignorant or he's lying.

Look How They Laughing on Luis 😂😂😂😂😂

gET Sid on this shown whenever talking about la liga off pitch stuff

I'm happy he's staying. It's the best decision under the circumstances. He's done a very good job bringing in extremely young players from La Masia who have preformed beyond all expectations. What's he supposed to do when Barça is broke? We still almost made it to CL semifinal. People who think this is bad are detached from reality. Which big name manager would join Barça in this state and do a better job?

The man did good in his first season... he comes 2nd in the league and reached quarter finals in the champion league.. you cannot blame him for the results.. the players literally beat themselves... against psg, arajuo made an amateur error and against madrid, lamal goal was not given... we have to remember that this same thing happened to pep as well.. pep's first season was not good either...

The only reason real curlers are happy with Xavi staying is because of how he is giving the La masia players opportunities to develop.

It’s the right decision, there are no other suitable alternatives and his promotion and development of the youngsters has been good. So let him continue for another year, if the results are the same but the youngsters continue to progress then in 12 months let him go at the end of his contract and bring in an experienced manager who can take them forward.

Do you not think he is waiting for the Man City job to become available?? They play very similiar football.🤔

If Girona passing Barca for second, this will be funny

Xavi has made some strange team selection dicisions and I think it's a financial dicision for him to stay!

YESS we are celebrating it... Even if some ppl don't like it, it's only right to be with him cuz he's gonna see next season through

xavi should sign for man utd. i bet he would beat peps city team

Im happy with him staying❤

Say u are not happy but for us as Barcelona fans we are super happy of him staying

I am a Valencia fan and I know Laporta/Xavi played the fans here. It was all planned as a get out of a jail free card.. Also, I am sure Laporta will not have pressure to sign players and instead justify using La Masia. I see Barca getting rid of FDJ, Raphinha, etc.. So they can keep Gavi, Pedri, etc.. That will lead to a domination from Real Madrid.. Perez will maximize this opportunity unfortunately

From complaining about the way that barca treated him to claiming that he has unfinished business goes to show how much money talks. He's not a bad coach but it's clear that he's worn out and should've stuck to his decision.

In the main spanish sports news outlets( Marca, Diario, Mundo Deportivo) the views of Xabi staying at Barca are overwhelmingly positive based on quite detailed analysis which are way more deep and errr...truthful than what i am hearing here.And yes, all the newspapers which i mentioned are available in English as well.

We are celebrating because he has made LAMINE YAMAL, PAU CUBARSI, FERMIN LOPEZ, HECTOR FORT, BALDE and there will be many more next year! So apply burnol to your burnt areas, VISCA BARCA forever!!! He and team will achieve great things and even if we are going trophyless this season, the real achievement is building the team for the future and you cant argue with that! One LAMINE YAMAL is bigger than whole REAL MADRID right now, just watch the last El Clasico!! We will be back before you know it!! ❤

They talking bout Barcelona injuries 😂 Real Madrid entire defense are just back up for the entire season including GK . Who is the 3 GK . Just excuses 😂😂😂

🎉🥳We Celebrating Alright 🎉🥳

“That was such a great match between Barcelona and Girona. I think I’ll start going to see the Chicago fire finish lower table every season w zero consequences”

Given the fact that Barcelona can't afford word class manager, I am slightly satisfied that Xavi is continuing. He is our best option at the moment. His one good thing is "he gives chance to youngsters"

Maybe Xavi didn't read the fine print in his contract

Barcelona and drama, a better love story than twilight. Not in headlines for any trophies but that same old drama.

Cubarsi, What more words can i say?? 😂 I've already used all the superlatives WHAT A DIAMOND!! 💎 His anticipation, interception, strength, technical abilities, tackling and what makes me love him, his composure under pressure He's got it all under 17 years Lucky to have him, Visca Barça 💙❤️🐐🤟

You have an unfinished business after saying you were done

If Barca go back to camp nou next season and fix ffp Xavi can succeed, but if team stays the same …….

Real Madrid is the real winner here Ancelotti smiling and welcoming Endrick and Kylian

Ale’s argument doesn’t work. How do you explain the growth of the MLS?

Madridistas are the one chanting "xavi stay" to ridicule Barcelona. 😂😂😂😂 I know Barca fans who want Xavi gone. Problem is they don't know who to replace him with.

As a real madrid fan, disrespect Xavi get is unbelievable 😂 His number 2 in the league and came far in cl and won leage last year as a new coach. Barcelona creates alot of chances alot more then any team yet the players miss those simple chance. He got all the blame. To be coach in this era is horrible 😂 Barcelona squad is not even that good people act like they should win alot of trophy with this squad 😂

Well none other team would hire him as a coach, so no wonder.

As a Barca fan I’m celebrating it for sure

I hope u guys see the comments and acknowledge that Barca fans are generally happy with that decision

So let me get this straight, PSG in the UCL: 2020: final 2021: semi final 2022: RO16 👻🍔 2023: RO16 👻🍔 2024: semi final I'm noticing a pattern 😭😭😭😭

Xavi all the way! More discipline -- can't have howlers like Araujo's pass out and decision to foul, or Consuelo's risky defending in the box. I understand Gundogan's frustrations but I am 50-50 on whether his should be public with his calling out the HUGE unforced errors leading to playing with 10 men for much of the game -- it depends on how communications have been within the team thus far. I don't know, and you probably don't as well. I will give Gundogan the benefit of the doubt.

La liga leaving ESPN could help grow the league.

what’s with the “new fans” angle? Yes there are already many many Barca fans in the US, who aren’t able to go to Spain. It’s an untapped market

Barcelona is in such a deep hole financially that this is their only option! This is sad, scary, and worrying.

As a journalist and pundit better complain about referee mistakes and biases in la liga.

Were all happy Xavi is staying at Barcelona. Barcelona are going to be a laughing stock next season. Waiting for Xabi to give 10 new La Masia teenagers their debuts while continue to be in Real Madrids shadow.

Barcelona cannot afford to hire a manager. That is why. The only thing I see why Xavi is staying is because the Board beg him to.

Real Madrid, Girona, Athletic, Villareal & Granada are thrilled about this news... Nothing has changed Barca will drop another 5 or 6 points lucky for Barca Real Madrid have UCL as well otherwise it could end up 15 to 16pts difference ... another loss & a couple draws & everyone will want him out again by the end of the season... They will need to sell Araujo & FDJ to have 160 mill to spend yet who will they buy ? The fact he said regardless of winning anything hes mind is made & hes going ... Now hes saying im staying that is a a sign of an embarrassing club & coach atm with where they are at...

Xavi vamooosssss. Espn stay out of this

Debut seasons comparison: Yamal - 200 million offer Guler - 200 minutes played

Real Madrid fans are happy Xavi is staying 😆😆

I dont think that ESPN,as Madrid fans know anything about Barcelona ;)

Finish in first place or get fired

I was respecting sid Lowe until he said this

I think Xavi can make a difference at Barcelona next season. Arsenal fans are celebrating Arteta being there and he has not won any trophy. Aside from playing some good football they were kicked out by Bayern at the same stage of the Champions League just as Barca.

Shut up, ESPN.

What comes next? Tuchel staying at Bayern? I dont like when people dont stand to their words. If u say u go, then u should go...

No one is celebrating but is the right decision cuz the club is broke.

we do celebrating Xavi staying at Barca

🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱 I'm so sick of ESPN they're a waste last season when Xavi won TWO TITLES they still didn't had anything good to say.

Barca rebuilding phase is a little team syndrom. They ll turn into a Nottingham Forrest, Red Star, Celtics, Benfica.... details of European football. Anecdotal winners, where not a child in the world remembers their time of greatness. No child will be able to share in the incredible feelings of greatness with their elders. Barca is bound to diaqppear from global football.

ESPN and Sid Lowe not understanding what's going on in, at and with FC Barcelona and Xavi. Believe me, we are so happy Hansi "one season success" Flick is not coming and destroying the rejuvenation that Xavi created at Barca. This summer Barca WIL do some great signings and sales and improve the team. Sleep well ESPN and Sid Lowe.

I’m exited to see xavi stay. very thrilled

Am celebrating it

ESPN stop nonsense plz

We Barcelona fans are happy

What if Xavi crumbles next season again? I guess he’ll just leave at the end of the season if his contract runs out

But ESPN can celebrate if pep joins Barca this summer you will still question is he fit for Barca blah blah

Xavi wanted the Liverpool job now he's waiting to for the City job

I'm happy Xavi is staying. What are these pundits on?

ESPN becoming MADRID TV 😂

Man is making himself look silly by saying nothings changed no and no , suddenly two defeats in a row and suddenly "hey , i have unfinished business here" LOL

La liga in America sounds better but epl must stay in England.

Right decision?? Lewa should hav benched/subbed alot of matches but didnt..u bough Roque for 40 mill now want to loan him but give chance after chance to ferran torres? Xaviiiiii OUT!!!!!!

Meanwhile Cancelo still looking forward to cancel Barca’s success 🤤

Barca is owned by the Socios. It's their opinion that matters, not an Oviedo fan (no offense, I love Dr Lowe).

ESPN just talking non sense like always to get people to click on video Ridiculous

Real Madrid fans are celebrating that Xavi stays .

Real man stick to their words why say if don't mean it

You guys at ESPN hate barca for some reason yea. I'm not even a culer like that and I can see you guys are some haters.

What they need to do get rid of unproductive player like Rober L.

Then you dont think much mister Lowe

Barca fans keep calm. Alot of madrid fans around with Barca fan Masks hating Xavi 😅

completely wrong. Sid needs to stay out of spanish futbol because we're actually HAPPY Xavi is staying. He has been here in such a short time with such a broken barca team and has done wonders considering how barca has been. He brought up Yamal, Cubarsi, redefined Raphina, etc etc. Sid needs to stop talking like hes a barca fan because he is clearly not a fan of barca. Us barca fans are happy

They never give Luis enough time to speak. He gets one question and then nothing else. La Liga is his specialty and especially with Xavi and Barca, he has great input. He and Xavi are friends, former teammates and he also played for Barca. Give the man some respect. He always has great and insightful commentary.

Every Barca fans celebrating his decision....
