Barca: Thierry Henry defends Xavi

For the second time in a row, FC Barcelona was eradicated from the group levels of the Champions League. A horrible failure for Xavi who nonetheless had an XXL switch window this summer time to significantly strengthen his workforce (Koundé, Lewandowski, Kessie, Raphinha, Bellerin, Christensen and even the extension of Dembélé). So inevitably on the facet of the supporters, we begin to level the finger on the Barcelona coach.

After the heavy defeat towards Bayern Munich on Wednesday, Thierry Henry needed to come back to the help of his former teammate by asking to present him time. “He’s second within the La Liga standings. Pep Guardiola started by teaching males, nice gamers. It’s not comparable with Xavi. I don’t assume he must be fired. He does an excellent job. You need to give him time. Even Steven Gerrard (word: fired by Aston Villa), they didn’t go away sufficient time. Take a look at Arteta, they gave time regardless of the unhealthy outcomes and now he has constructed his group.
