Then, he suffered a crushing defeat of 3-5 in the 22nd round of La Liga against Villarreal on April 28. Xavi couldn't stand it anymore. Barcelona announced that it will end his tour with Xavi after this season.
Barcelona's midfielder Ilkay Gundoanea expressed regret over the situation. He left Manchester City for Barcelona after the end of last season. Xavi's presence had a great influence on the transfer. Nevertheless, a breakup with Xavi has come.
He said in an interview with Spain's La Vanguardia, "I regret this season. I regret my breakup with Xavi. I wish I could have done more for Xavi. I think so. Xavi was a person who gave me a lot of strength to come here. I am very grateful to Xavi."
"I respect Xavi's decision. Xavi is a person who puts family, players and clubs first. Xavi loves Barcelona," he added.
Hanji Flick is being talked about as Xavi's replacement. Gundogan said, "A lot of names are coming up. That's not my part. I can't comment on any coach. I can just say that Flick is not only a cool guy but a great coach. He came to the national team in very complicated situations, but he has always shown sincerity. I respect Flick a lot."
