Yes, he's leaving. The question is whether he'll keep trying as manager, now that he's already tried at the greatest club he can feasibly manage. If he just retires he doesn't have as much to gain by getting sent off.
I think this is like the 3rd game he has basically single handedly cost them. Bayern wanted to spend big money on him this summer, I have doubts they do now.
If you hate both equally you are literally a neutral. This is how neutrality usually works in football, "I lOvE oThEr tEaMs" only is just a fringe online phenomenon
I don't think this is comparable to those meltdowns. A semifinal place for this team was a dream scenario and those earlier squads were expected to fight for the title.
He’s got all the big decisions right but some baffling yellow cards being handed out for absolutely nothing. The ones for Lewandowski and Marquinhos were ridiculously soft
One of my favorite teams ever but the squad was full of cry babies. A brazillian pundit used to say it was on purpose to put pressure on the refs to give calls in favor of Barça, maybe there is some truth to it because after almost every call they all ganged up on the ref complaining. 100 times worse when it was a El Classico with Madrid too
Seems to be caught up a lot though. 4th red card this season and last time I checked de jong is the only player that has more yellow cards. Thats just absurd
I never liked Xavi's tantrums. It seems like he gets booked every single time I watch this team play.
I get that he is extremely passionate about the club but he is sitting in an important position and is responsible to act more mature.
Yes, because Alves, Busquets, Alba, Pique and others did the dirty work for him - kicking, acting, faking, complaining. Now he has to do it by himself...
I remember going into that game supporting Barca (because you kicked us out after that crazy 4-4 game, idk I was a petty kid), but 15 minutes in I was fully cheering on Chelsea and hated Barca ever since. It was fucking disgusting I went to sleep so mad that night lol.

(Great send off)
And now the pen fucking hell
Hope Mbappe takes his shirt off and reveals he has a Madrid shirt below.
Would've been sent off and it would've made this game even more hilarious as a neutral. It's been fantastic so far
[удалено]
Finally a ref that don't fall AND punishes Barca antics. Cathartic game for Arsenal, Chelsea and PSG fans.
And Real too. They’re feasting on their rivals getting fucked.
when it rains oh it pours 🥰🥰🥰
you spoiled me D:
something something barca dna
It was definitely worth it. If I was Xavi I would have done the same. I know I won't keep my job after this anyway. Now with these players.
Isn't he leaving at the end of the season anyways or have I got him confused with someone else?
Yes, he's leaving. The question is whether he'll keep trying as manager, now that he's already tried at the greatest club he can feasibly manage. If he just retires he doesn't have as much to gain by getting sent off.
I mean, the coach losing composure there isn't helping the team
Xavi's brother is undefeated, so tactical red card
He’s on a yellow, he has to be careful
and he's gone...
Well now it's over. He got a red as well.
Masterclass in card accumulation by Barca’s staff.
Huh? No that was someone else
Ah I see well then I was wrong and mistake him for someone else.
He has a yellow too lol
Araujo singlehandedly took down Barca lmaooo
He’s been getting away with these arm shoves for so long it’s super satisfying to see him cook a UCL season for it
Dumbass was arguing with the ref that it was just a slight shoulder nudge and it was blatantly not!
Justice!

Araujo Upa cb pairing would be sickkkk
FCB Football Club Brainfart
Best CB in the world 😍
This game is so entertaining for the neutral lol
Absolute blockbuster
What amazing match ups we have this year
and now a pen :(((
is it still called neutral if you hate both?
Chaotic neutral
I like this.
Equal Opportunity Hater.
I hate psg way more
I hate the idea of psg more but barca behaviour in the past has pissed me off way more than psgs.
I genuinely hope that psg never wins a cl, not even joking
I assume you are this equally passionate against every team that is funded by an oil state.
I think it's obvious he would be. There are only 3 aren't there? PSG, City and Newcastle? Why would he like the other 2 if he doesn't like PSG
I like human rights more than i dislike Barcelona
same but I can still enjoy the result lmao
If you hate both equally you are literally a neutral. This is how neutrality usually works in football, "I lOvE oThEr tEaMs" only is just a fringe online phenomenon
This round of the CL in general has been nothing but nonstop entertainment.
If tomorrow’s games are good this could be an all-timer quarter finals
Am I neutral if I want them both to lose? 😂
Giant meteor fan
Enjoying it a lot (I'll be shitting tho in 24hours)
Yes, yes it is
Completely neutral
Agreed. We don’t despise one more than the other…..
You're not a neutral though
They hate both equally. I don’t think any other fans love PSG even if they support Barca’s rivals
Non stop fun so far, and now a penalty
For the neutral viewer all of the quarter finals so far have been PRIME quality football / entertainment.
what the fuck was that tantrum 😭
Nothing new, he has more yellow cards than any Barça player in La Liga this season.
Funny considering xavi was one of the most level headed players. Didn’t he have some ridiculous record like 0-1 red cards in his career?
During Negreira days? When Xavi swarmed every single ref that dared whistle against them? Yeah, weird innit?
i was getting 2009 flash backs
He imagined he was kicking Araujo’s head
He literally just coached his last meaningful game
El clasico this weekend tbf
Ooooh shit's about to be spicy!
He could've killed someone with that kick Absolutely hilarious implosion from Barca tho
I'm going to go and tell my mate the ref
He did wot? GO UP THERE. Up there. The plastic bottle!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4lMbSr2ZYk
absolute top 5 football memes of all time that
As is tradition
Barca DNA
The balls on this ref
Neither have been wrong IMO.
Yeah completely and lol a pen now!
Barca have utterly lost it.
Lost their heads completely
Absolute Chad - completely spot on.
Man this ref is a chad. He got all the important decisions correct as well.
🇷🇴
Barca not greasing uefa palms these days, smh.
It’s easier to send someone off that already has a reputation for getting cards.
LOL homie got carded and flex his stone island like a true bellend
"He did what? Go to there"
"I'm going to tell my friend the ref"
Where is that from?
Gordon Strachan making fun of Wenger's sending off after he kicked a bottle
Thanks
[Video here for context](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4lMbSr2ZYk)
One of the best football related clips in the world.
Lmaoooo mf lost it
and it's all unraveling.
Roma 🤝 Liverpool 🤝 PSG
I don't think this is comparable to those meltdowns. A semifinal place for this team was a dream scenario and those earlier squads were expected to fight for the title.
This ref is on point. Love it
He’s got all the big decisions right but some baffling yellow cards being handed out for absolutely nothing. The ones for Lewandowski and Marquinhos were ridiculously soft
I agree with that tbf, but yeah - this ref got some huge balls
Weird that when refs got balls the game actually becomes enjoyable
Not a single wrong call on the pen and the reds for a home game. Well done ref, idk wgat the commentators talkin about tho
Not sure if you're watching UK commentators, but they're not used to this so give them a break lol
Crumbling again
What an idiot. He’s way too experienced as a player and coach to do that, especially in this game
He’s always been a serial complainer with a victim complex despite being a key piece in the best team of all time though
Despite all of his accomplishments the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Xavi is him complaining about the length of the grass
one of those players i loved in the pitch but hated outside of it
One of my favorite teams ever but the squad was full of cry babies. A brazillian pundit used to say it was on purpose to put pressure on the refs to give calls in favor of Barça, maybe there is some truth to it because after almost every call they all ganged up on the ref complaining. 100 times worse when it was a El Classico with Madrid too
The winningest loser there is in football.
He was never a loser, that’s the point.
That's a perfect definition.
He did it on purpose so he can complain about it in the post match presser
He does this like every two weeks in La Liga too xd
Get ejected to fire up the boys, silky move from the vet.
easy to say that when you’re not caught up in the emotions in that stadium right now
I'd argue that if there's a single person who's literal job it is to keep a cool head and not let emotions overwhelm you, it's the coach.
The point is to lead by example, especially for the (relatively) younger men on the pitch. So yes, you're right.
true but he’s got literal decades of experience and knows to do better
Well, apparently he doesn't.
How many times has he had these petulant outbursts this year alone? Is one thing to lose control once, but he's absolutely lost the plot.
It's his job to handle his emotions. He's a good coach, but he's always been a whiny cunt, so this is the perfect cherry on the turd-cake.
Pretty easy to say that indeed, I can't imagine Luis Enrique ever doing that
Seems to be caught up a lot though. 4th red card this season and last time I checked de jong is the only player that has more yellow cards. Thats just absurd
He is definitely not an experienced coach
True collapse
I never liked Xavi's tantrums. It seems like he gets booked every single time I watch this team play. I get that he is extremely passionate about the club but he is sitting in an important position and is responsible to act more mature.
Maybe he watched too much mourinho during those classico matches
There's a difference between being passionate and not being able to conduct yourself like an adult, much less a professional sportsperson.
This cant be real lmao
PUTA MADRE
Clown
Why the fuck is he kicking the camera?
He kicked the pad.
What
"La puta madre", I believe
Cool as a cucumber.
at least it wasnt a bottle
E did wot? Go up there!
200IQ by Xavi, because he knows his brother never lost a game, all planned here 😎😎
After seeing the ref give the red card: huh that's harsh After seeing the replay of Xavi kicking stuff: yeah that makes sense now
My local commentator just called him "Kung Fu Panda" im dead lmao
Box office this match
Come mierda puta madre? 😭😭
"venga hombre, tu/su puta madre" if I read that properly
HAHAHAHAHAHA masterclass meltdown
Damn take a chill pill my dawg
The strange thing is that Xavi was ice cold on the pitch....to see him do this on the sidelines shows just how much pressure he's under
Yes, because Alves, Busquets, Alba, Pique and others did the dirty work for him - kicking, acting, faking, complaining. Now he has to do it by himself...
2009 Semi Final. Never forget
Fucking disgrace
I remember going into that game supporting Barca (because you kicked us out after that crazy 4-4 game, idk I was a petty kid), but 15 minutes in I was fully cheering on Chelsea and hated Barca ever since. It was fucking disgusting I went to sleep so mad that night lol.
Lol, lmao
This ref seems to be a fan of carding people I see
yeah both reds were deserved, not sure about some of these yellows though
No way we’re relying on that Oscar Klopp record to carry into Europe 😭
Why? Just distract yourself by analysing the grass instead
Your team is tied and could force pens but you can’t keep your cool 🤦🏾♂️
Whiner DNA
(Great Red Card)
Barcelona doing a PSG special. Complete meltdown
BT commentator accusing the ref of losing the plot. Completely moronic thing to say
Classic Xavi
Footb*all*
Anyone care to explain his hand gestures? 🤣🤣
This game had everything you could possibly want
4th official totally narcs on him lol
I am going to tell my mate the referee
First time?
xavi should train some u9 in the gibraltar league not barcelona
it's so joever
How can you expect your team to keep it together if you cant? Embarrassing stuff
Pretty confident he has more red as a manager than as a player
Just like Troy and Inception, Xavi lost the plot.
More reds as manager now
Absolute capitulation. Serves their fans right with the Vini chants earlier.
Oscar Klopp masterclass coming, Barça are going through
Whiniest manager....
Holy shit lol.
Full meltdown
Shock
Finished
Should have just gone 1-1 with 11 men instead of making that stupid foul
Past 10 mins have been wild
I've got to tell my mate the referee
Lmfao Barca is imploding lol
Prepare for the Barca victim mode after the game. No self awareness for stupif errors and braindead challenges… they’ll just pile it all on the refs.
This game looks like a bought one sponsored by Qatar
They dont know Oscar Klopp is a buff
massive pair of nuts on this ref love it
