It's normal for Xavi to receive criticism, especially when Barcelona's performance is really underperforming. as a coach, he is also responsible for the performance of his team's squad. Regarding Xavi's statement to leave Barcelona, I'm sure it's not just a matter of his team's performance. There are several other issues that caused Xavi to end his coaching with Barcelona until this season, but what we are discussing is not that in this discussion but the match between Paris Saint-Germain vs Barcelona. This match should be interesting, bringing together Luis Enrique and Xavi Hernandez. Both of them have worked together in Barcelona. Luis Enrique as coach, Xavi as central midfielder at that time. Now, the two meet again in the Champions League competition. Luis Enrique with PSG, Xavi with Barcelona.

The point is, PSG is now slowly starting to find its rhythm in Enrique's hands. Meanwhile for Barcelona, their performance was not very stable, plus several key players were injured. referring to the temporary betting market, Paris Saint-Germain is more favored by bookmakers. Maybe, because Paris Saint-Germain has a good record when playing home games. On the other hand, Barcelona is starting to improve even though several of their core players have not fully recovered from injuries. but at least, Xavi will try to do a good job with his squad. I hope this match will present a match worth watching. So, let's just wait.

The PSG Verus Barcelona match is really worth waiting for and watching, a lot of emotions will be involved in it, with Luis Enrique being one of the attractions in the match. In fact, it is not limited to just coaches, Dembele also has to beat with his former club, hoping that both teams can field their best squads in the match. On paper, PSG deserves to be the favorite in the first leg, because apart from having better squad depth, they are also a little more consistent, and PSG will act as hosts.

In terms of managerial experience, Luis Enrique is certainly more experienced than Xavi, but this cannot be used as a complete benchmark. Barcelona have a good reputation and a better mentality in the Champions League than PSG, and Xavi will try his best to leave a good impression before stepping down at the end of the season. If Barcelona appears more consistent in La Liga, it is possible that the quarter-final match will be more difficult to predict.
