Xavi Hernandez Sacked!

Starting this blog with a sack letter 😒. Okay, this is not intentional but anyways that is the trending news at the moment.

FC Barcelona has released a statement this morning stating that the first team head coach Xavi Hernandez will not continue in his role again following a decision reached this morning with Xavi in attendance.

He has managed the side for the past three years with his biggest accomplishment during the period, the Spanish La Liga. Which they won last season. Barcelona has however not lived to expectations during the second half of the season with a leaking backline. Conceding a considerable number of goals. Most of the wins they had recently has always seen them come from behind to manage a win.


The coach's immediate response was felt after appointment with the fans giving him all the support as a former club legend. A Culer though and through. Hansi Flick is strongly tipped as the next successor. Fingers crossed


Read FC Barcelona's press release below:

Today Friday, FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has informed Xavi Hernández that he will not be continuing as first team coach in the 2024-25 season.

The meeting happened at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper and was also attended by sporting vice-president Rafa Yuste, director of sport Anderson Luís de Souza, Deco, Xavi, Òscar Hernández and Sergio Alegre.

Barcelona Humiliates Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in 4:0 win

It has always been a heated encounter between the duo of FC Barcelona and CF Real Madrid whenever the meet for the El classico.  There is always the 'sibling rivalry' kind of situation between them. In the past years, it has been seen as one the bloodiest rivalries in football competitions. Later years has seen sanity and a bit of professionality between the teams when they play. The urge to always come at each other has reduced with each trying to play good football and come on top with a convincing win. In the last four competitive matches between the duo, Real Madrid has always come on top with good results against FC Barcelona. FC Barcelona have only just won the two friendly games played in between those four games. So the 2023/2024 season saw the Culers loosing both legs of the La Liga season to Real Madrid who later went on to win the league. The 2024/2025 season started with Madrid doing good numbers with the signing of famous names that included Mbappe from PSG in a fr...

UEFA probably envisaged a monumental victory for big teams who has been trail blazing on the big tournament but recently, the tourney has brought to bare some jaw dropping shows. On the recent events, the star studded Ream Madrid team in all it's glory was dismantled at home by AC Milan team. I believe nobody, not a single person saw this coming. The only goal they got in the match was a Penalty kick that was taken by Vinicius Jnr.  With the ever present Mike Maigan, the Madristas could not go past him as they were confronted by a firm wall. The goalie managed to Stop all the Madrid attackers including the Ballon dÓr runner up and also one of the best players, Mbappe. The goal keeper kept off a total of nine shots on target from the Real Madrid attack. The game ended three goals to one in favour of the Milan team.
