Truth will be revealed on Wednesday against Napoli. I view this Celta game as a rehearsal - Napoli play in somewhat same color jerseys.

Xavi could be gone before the next league game.
Could have a caretaker until the summer I believe.
No point keeping him if the players dont respond to him or have lost motivation playing for him.
Bad result against Napoli and the could might ask him to resign or risk being fired if CL qualification is under threat.

The referee gifted us that penalty; dude was looking at the ball 100% of the time. There's no way Yamal had a chance at a shot.

Didn't see the game, but seems to be the usual "mistake" for Barca or Real as one or the other to not trail by too many points and have a dead league for the next 3 months.

Even though everyone knows it that the league was already won by Madrid.

Missed the game. Just watched the extended "highlights ". Dire. 28 minutes of dross.
I can't believe Xavi is still here. When did we last have a game that wasn't life or death. Even in the early 2000s when we had a lean spell we despatched most of the teams with ease and quality was better back in the day. Now la liga is shit and we can't even beat these mid table teams without a struggle.
Penalty was a joke and why do players have this stupid stutter step?
Napoli going to give us a good beating...

It was 100% penalty, intentional or not
Yamal didn't even challenge for that ball properly. He dived ass first into it.

You could say that ref is covered there, but it's a poor penalty to give. Might as well turn football into basketball with the way any contact is a foul.

His intent was not to challenged the ball. He went and seek for the contact which was bound to happen considering he went into his shooting path ass first. Hilarious penalty to give, even more hilarious to repeat it - in which Lewa against stops and also Rafinha enters the box early. But hey, Yamal is smart kid IMO. To bad he has such shitty coach.

Xavi quedate!
