- 5 Reasons Why Xavi Flopped at Barcelona
Just days after Klopp announced his shocking decision to step down at Liverpool, now Xavi has done the same at Barcelona. Announcing it after a heavy 5-3 home loss to Villarreal, the Spaniard expressed that the job was taking a lot out of him and that the club and players may benefit from a new dynamic at the club.
Despite winning the league title in his first season in charge, Barca now sit third in the table, ten points behind leaders Real Madrid. They are also already out of the Copa Del Rey and lost the Supercopa De Espana final to their classico rivals. The season is looking bleak and it's only January. Therefore it might not be so surprising to see Xavi step away. Here are five reasons we think he flopped as Barcelona coach.

He is not a flop, not even close, he came to Barca when they were in a horrible state, and then winning the league and Supercopa, i dont think that he is close to a flop
He's judged for the 2023/24 season, not last season
This is like saying I am not a flop becuase I did well in middle school, I am the biggest flop

@@BlackBirds93 ok
@@BlackBirds93What a dumb comment don't you understand the word flop??
Lemme explain then it means someone who failed to fullfil what was expected of him and Xavi did the complete opposite, he delivered the Title and literally saved Barcelona from extinction when people didn't expect much from him.
It's absolutely unreasonable to call Xavi a flop.
Tbh it is not his fault it's the players.
@@sports78443 Yeah, Last season he help them win LaLiga but because they lost a few games he's a flop?
It's not his fault that Barca have a lack of money so he couldn't make transfers
You are right.
All to blame at Bartomeu who spend Neymar'222 million on Coutinho and Griezmann. You know they are great players, but they are great while used as a pivotal role in the systems. The 2017-18 season's Coutinho was great as a 10 and the important man in Klopp's system. But at Barça the team was being built around Leo Messi.
Same applies to Anto Griezmann who also functioned as a false 9/no.10 in Simeone's system.
And don't forget buying Dembele who moved to Borrusia Dortmund One year prior before coming to Barca . He hadn't performed at the top level for long as he played at Stade Rennais.
Laporta also has the thing to be blamed like Selling Franck Kessie who was a great acquisition from AC Milan. Selling of Auba who redeemed himself 6 months within his downfall at Arsenal .
And and and we cant solely put the blame on Xavi because I think he is an excellent coach who got Barcelona 21-22 all the way from 10th to 2nd while beating Real Madrid 4-0 at their own ground. The man is human with flesh and blood like us and can't do godly things without better players
He won a La Liga title in his first full season at the club. I'd hardly call anyone who does that a flop when he's basically fighting against the incompetence of his club every waking moment. He deserves far better than what he's got.
We'd also like to see videos about AFCON facts we didn't know, just like how you guys did with the World cup videos
The fact that Xavi won a La Liga with this squad and Barca's current financial situation is extremely impressive. He didn't flop
extremely impressive is a big exaggeration
@@mk22vids37no other manager is gonna come to a team in the middle of the season that’s sitting at 9th place and taking them to 2nd and they’re first full season give them la liga and making madrid deep throat you in a supercup final
Xabi did @@himynamesam6145
Xavi's never been in a position to rebuild the squad. The players he has don't fit within how you expect he would want his teams to play. That's down to the club's $$ problems - something Xavi's not responsible for. Honestly, Barca's governance board are the real flop. They've let Xavi down - just like how they let managers before him down. Hard to see any top manager wanting the Barca job right now.
Winning a La Liga title is now considered being a ''flop''?
last i checked, la liga was last season, we are talking about the current season.
@@Nathan-opioid So he has one bad season and is now a ''flop''? In that case every manager ever is a flop.
lol for some people ... no one notices even on the years that Real won the UCL ... they couldnt beat barca... last year Xavi's team beat real 4-0 could have been 9-0 if Ferran had taken his chanes
Xavi still a legend and definitely not a flop 2 trophies in quick time is a confident manager, but Barca ain’t what it was when he was a player
Only managed 2.5 seasons
Took team from 9th to 2nd position in first season
Won league and super Cup in the second season
Struggles in the last season where he lost integral part(busi, dembele, gavi's injury, ter stegen's injury)of team without proper reinforcement and Less than 5M spend in the market.
Do that to any top manager and you will see them struggling.
You may hate him but He is not bad as you think. I am not saying he is in the level of Pep or others. But definitely he doesn't got the resources others got
Calling him a flop is absolutely disgraceful
The legend came in one of the worst phases in Barca's history - crippled finances , no Messi , ageing squad and so many below par players on high wages
He won the La Liga and Supercopa last season and even though many things aren't going right this season , you gotta see that it's a culmination of numerous factors - the experienceed players just don't turn up on the big occasions , we have to rely on kids who are 16,17 or 18 year olds . The Barcelona medical team is absolutely trash as well . Xavi's favouritism towards certain players is also a bad thing for the club not gonna lie
Those fake barca fans are now saying * thanks for the memories * but when they needed to support him , they were abusing and shouting at him to go out .
And blaming Laporta will be very bad as well....he kept on supporting Xavi no matter what and never wanted to sack him
I agree that Xavi may not reach the levels of Pep or Klopp as well but portraying him as a flop is disgusting
Sack him.
I completely agree with you
Sorry for being a pedant but it's not "the la liga" it's just la liga "La" is "the" you're saying "the the liga"
Putting blame on Lewandowski is not fair. It's the whole team and how they play. I put majority of the blame on Xavi's inability to make these players work like last season due to lack of utility players like Sergio Busquets. The defensive side has been tinker with too much.
The biggest offence is how they transition from defense to attack... THEY LITERALLY SLOW DOWN to a point where Lewandowski is crowded by like 3 people. He tries to make runs, and not just Lewandowski but half the team but each time they transition they literally just stop and don't know where to go. I think that's why Lewandowski's scoring potential has dropped massively. I will also not deny that he's getting older and that contributes but such a massive drop definitely is all too strange.
😢😢
I think it has to do with our wingers. Earlier this season, Xavi switched to 4-4-2 which doesn't compliment Lewandowski's pure 9 nature. And he given new tasks to the team to play more in depth (especially the midfield), which requires the two attackers on the front (either Lewandowski-Felix or Lewandowski-Raphinha) to have more pressure and playmaking. It shows how good Felix was being a second striker (in his Benfica days he used to play similar position) but hard for Lewandowski's pure 9 nature. And Busi's pivotal duet with Frenkie was definitely missed this season, hard to find his replacement especially when Xavi nowadays choose Romeu or Christensen as a CDM.
Edit: I just realized your comment was posted 3 weeks ago. And Xavi has gone back to 4-3-3 formation which makes Lewandowski had scored four matches in a row 😂
I'm not a Barca fan in any way. Regardless, I think it's very insensitive to qualify him as a flop. You go down memory lane and realize that the club was a mess before he came - on and off the pitch.
You tell me when last the club won the league before last season. Please, stop using words like "flop" to qualify him. It's insulting, wrong, and unfair based on his achievements there.
He did not flop he change Barcelona if not for him Barcelona would exactly.be like Chelsea currently
I’m a Barca fan and l must say, horrible signings, no persistence regarding the new talents ( Fati etc ), low wages, no money in the club etc. There’s no hope for Barca and there isn’t any coach and this planet that could fix all the problems. La Masia doesn’t produce any quality players and most of all, the players in this squad do NOT PLAY WITH THEIR HEARTS for this club like Puyol, Pique, Iniesta, Messi, Xavi, Bojan etc. On top of that, their talent scouts are probably the worst in Europe with a horrible president Laporta. Barca is slowly fading away and will probably be even worse next season.
The another reason is lack of leadership
Make gundogan captain
But let's admit Xavi was a footballing legend
Nowadays rescuing team from financial crisis and winning them laliga title and other cups are considered as FLOP
The Manager is like Being Goalkepper Let me tell why Manager is The Director WHO pays transfer in or the thing manager can do is to set academy player in and Goalkepper without Defence they concede
Xavi is not a flop. What he has done in 2 years is commendable.
Btw, if they keep Yamal, Cubarsi, Pedri, Gavi and get rid off Lewandovski… maybe they’ll finish top 4. Also, the whole board should resign! Renovating Camp Nou with a depth that could bankrupt the club… now that’s bad planning. Fans are fed up.
Xavi in Barca:
Constant Injuries
No budget for squad depth
Makeshift signings
Poor performance by forwards
Only after this you can start blaming Xavi.
its hard for most of our Barca fan to see it this way, its like being ungrateful but most people are these days in relationships let alone with their loved club 100% agree on Lewe ,..we should have never got him, Abu was the best we let him go for free and got that alonso guy waste of a great striker much better than Lewe... Lewe cost us the UCL last year all by himself against his older team bayern.. then ref cost us the game against Inter milan. you can add Kounde to that list and also Raphena but it was not his call.. Deco brought Rapha then he brought Cancelo who should be a winger than a left or right back... plus with players like him you would need someone like Raketic who would cover for Alves and again unlucky with Gavi's injury, Busquets departure ... lastly Gundegon and Frankie they are defending well and attack wise they are good but we probably compare them to Pedri, Xavi and Iniesta and thats where the comparison fails
Ekitike , really?
Oshimen for 50 million, man Lewandowski scored more than oshimen last season and tbh he was the reason Barcelona won 2 trophies last season but he's one of the primary reasons they're not good enough this season but it's not only him and we'll know it , from ter stegan's injury to Lewandowski not really receiving proper chances and his instincts have gotten worse than ever still he has not been as bad as the Barcelona defense which is probably the biggest reason why xavi was on the hot pan and eventually he wanted to jump off of it and really wanted to turn the stove off but the CL is still around and he jus can't lose hope like everything is lost because Napoli is obviously having a much more shitter season than Barcelona.
Aubameyang did well in barcelona even though it was just a year
Yes, he had a better output compared to ferran and lewy
Xavi wasn't a flop bro!!
It's incredible what CZcamsrs will do just for some views a flop really??
When was the last time Barca won anything before Xavi took over, how quickly people have forgotten the 4 goal thrashing of Real Madrid and Atletico in his first season winning the super cup too with another brilliant display.
He later led the dead team to win The League Title heck they even celebrated like they've won the Champions League that's how low and desperate the once Mighty Barcelona were.
Lewandowski and his rebellious gang are the ones responsible for what's happening and it's the the same thing happening at Manchester United, player power winning.
Calling Xavi a flop is like calling Arteta a flop and he only won an FA.
The same Barca fans that asked for his head are now trying to defend him. It’s disgraceful how he’s been pushed to the brink.
5 reasons why Xavi flopped at Barcelona: 1.Barca being broke 2.Barca being broke 3.Barca being broke 4.Barca being broke 5.Barca being broke
That is a reason but main thing is the attack and defence are out of form, MATS and gavi injured is also a blow.
But as a coach u have to motivate ur players and overcome this. His tactics, player selections , subs etc are all lacking this season.
Barca need strong player who can dence plus win arial dual and do header goals the have only polio players pedri,gavi, raphinha, ferran , balde , dembele
What the hell is that financial struggle.... They spended more then 500M after xavis appointment.
Xavi never flopped at Barcelona. He was a victim of the circumstances of Barcelona being in a financial woe from the previous regime. Laporta didn't help Xavi to navigate the difficult waters that Barcelona are in. Blame Bartomeu for ruining Barcelona financially and blame Laporta for not helping Xavi through this crisis.
No way is Xavi a flop
Give klopp or guardiola just 3.4m to spend in transfer window then you can see hoe will they cope .
Xavi isnt a flop
dont forget cut their budget down to 100 Million lol its Deco that is stirring the pot,Pep came in got rid of him first he knew but some how he foundhisway back to the club now
Bro calling xavi flop is kinda insane with budget less than prolly 15th premier league club xavi build great team. Also came in middle of season from 9th place he ended 2nd. Won la liga and super copa in 2nd season. He will end top 4 in this season as well. You call him a flow is hilarious. Get some brain fr😭
If Xavi is a flop than so is arteta
0:28 10 points behind leaders Real Madrid??
Anyone will flop in this Club, because this is more like a circus
Dude won La Liga with a weak Barca team last season. Think he did alright.
He wasn't a flop but I wouldn't call him a legend
If xavi a flop artera definitely a flop
1st reason: Real Madrid
2nd reason: Atletico Madrid
How can xavi be a flop I can't understand
He is a flop, most coach can do it once, doing it twice is the hard part, doing it 3 times you know you got it. Is short - Once is luck, Twice is A Coincidence, Three Times A Pattern.
Dejong to leave club to raise funds Nah😂
You forgot to mention Frenkie de Jong perhaps the most overrated player in the world! Look at his statistics and data and you see a result unworthy of a top club! But Xavi is also among those who give Frenkie far too much credit for what he really contributes. Frenkie is a hyped player and that has already started in his native country where they have shamelessly even dared to compare him with the Dutch all-time great footballer Johan Cruyff. Frenkie is an excellent midfielder but absolutely not a driving and decisive player, but he does fulfill that role at Barcelona and that goes wrong :-)
He was not a flop
What a nonsense title...
Xavi and ten hag should swap jobs
Bro change that stupid ass tittle, he won 2 trophies after a horrible time after Messi leaving
Xavi is thick.
Period.
Xavi is not a flop
Guys remember, Gavi and Pedri > Bellingham, Lewa > Benzema, Xavi is better coach than Zidane, Araujo is the best CB of all time. It's just that Florentino Perez paid Villarreal, Athletic Club and all other teams to humiliate Barca and Barca is unlucky
Why are you talking like Xavi sucked smh🤦 the manager that won the league just last season
What a bad Video; Xavi absolutly not flopped
Solution:
Lionel Messi
Xavi didnt Flop
I will say this Frenkie de jong has been a flop since he joined Barcelona.
GOD loves you all beyond belief
Love the vid
it is channels like you that made him leave. He is nowhere near a flop, we fuckin achieved a defensive record last season while winning the league after 4 years, this season i guess we all can agree that the problem has been the players, not xavi at all. Look at the amount of chances wasted, the kind of individual mistakes in the backline first.
You lot love to blame the coach every time and make him the sacrificial piece. Even after him calling the media out, you still shamelessly post videos about how he flopped at Barcelona, which just goes on to show that you dont actually respect the manager one bit.
Signing Lewandowski & Gundagon was huge mistake considering they're past prime.
Gundagon wasn't needed when u have Pedri & De Jong & Fermin Lopez.
😂😂😂😂
dude the fact he got into a barca team that was 9nth and nearly won the league, then won the league, then got barca to their first last 16 ucl game since messi and people call him a flop
How is he flop? Anything for views mf

You are calling Xavi a flop?? So much hungry for views with negative emotions?? Thank god your opinions only stays in a Yutube channel 😅
Please pin I am a big fan
the problem is not Xavi the real problem is barcelona the club to poor to play even in la liga
He's not a good manager
And also one season wonder 😂
Only managed 2.5 seasons
Took team from 9th to 2nd position in first season
Won league and super Cup in the second season
Struggles in the last season where he lost integral part(busi, dembele, gavi's injury, ter stegen's injury)of team without proper reinforcement and Less than 5M spend in the market.
Do that to any top manager and you will see them struggling.
You may hate him but He is not bad as you think. I am not saying he is in the level of Pep or others. But definitely he doesn't got the resources what others got
You clearly have have below average football knowledge.
Nah😂
Even as a Madrid fan I can say this is totally crap if you think he flopped. Yes he is weak asf to quit after an unsuccessful season but what the heck I'm not complaining.😊
fifth
nice
He Rejected Leo Messi 😂😂😂😂
barcelona couldnt afford him
He didn’t reject Messi, Messi chose to go to Inter Miami
He rejected Neymar though
@@kristianjacobsen352 Barca couldnt afford him either and the manger is not the only one who decides transfers
