Yeah, you really have been adding massive value to the forum either:
1) twerking for the likes of Dembele and parroting Birdy's takes more often than not
2) trying to shoehorn a joke/troll into every other post, most noticeable against obvious Barca legends
Here, I'll give you a couple forum likes since that seems to be your performance metric
The point is, for you and those who read this dialogue, I could rather easily take you to the cleaners (and even that notion sounds ridiculous as its just a net forum), but you are just not worth my time.
So get the last word in if you really need it. Coz it means nothing anyways.

Read that again and see how embarrassing it is, as you yourself realize
I'm not trying to win any internet points...just sick and tired of your repeated bullshit against Xavi, Messi and co. under the guise of "humor" (while doing cartwheels for Dembele of all people lmao). And then you take shots at other posters/Barca fans who stick with/defend some of these players for their contributions. That's all there is to is.

The 2012 final was some truly godly stuff.Who dare to disrespect the GOAT midfielder (with Don Iniesta)?

Even more so because Pirlo had a lot of hype coming into the final because of that panenka v England and his overall performance that Euros - Xavi completely sonned him though, as per usual.
Pirlo was a great midfielder, but prime Xavi is the best. As soon as Xavi's prime ended, Spain fell off a cliff until...Lamine and co.

The thing about this place is some posters on here, can't accept that 2 things can be true at the same time.
Xavi can both be a young inexpensive coach that needs/needed a bit more time to develop.
While also under the circumstances being a good coach for Barcelona,that stabilized our league performances, helped us to our first league title in years, and layed the ground work for what should/could be a lot more success in the future.
He's basically van gaal in that sense.
But all you hear is little shots at him or completely disregarding the work he did here.
The football wasn't exciting, we didn't do well in Europe.
We lost 4-0 against Madrid, forgetting we also being them 4-0 and 3-1 under him and generally were always their equal in matches bar 1 or 2.
But the ones that really annoys we, is the we would have lost against PSG even with XI men, despite the eye test and all the facts pointing to us being the better team XI vs XI.
Up 2 goals XI vs XI, with us creating more clear chances.

I literally wrote that and deleted it, didn't want to kick pirlo while he was down. Lol
But yeah that final put an end to any debate of Pirlo vs Xavi.

Xavi was superior to Pirlo in all aspects of a midfield player.
But Pirlo's freekicks were gold though, one of the greatest fk taker ever 💯

There’s no harm in his failure ultimately, we’re all disappointed but none more than the legend himselfAgreed. In the end as a manager he was out of his depth though, while Serghei for some reason still running his PR
Success is not guaranteed at anything and there was plenty in his locker to be an ideal coach at Barça and eventually he may return to it, even if elsewhere
Success as a coach also requires a certain personality I believe and perhaps Xavi was too sweet for this sort of job at the club of his life
Even Pep couldn’t last more than 4 seasons, Lucho 3 and in the end 2 1/2 for Xavi

The reality is I will support any manager that leads the team to a big title competing vs a much superior Madrid side at the time.
Did Xavi do that? Yes, he absolutely, unequivocally did.
You guys are funny. Took the team on 9th in Spain, won the league vs Madrid in his time. Took the team trashed in CL groups by Benfica, got it near a CL semis, failing due to a sabotage job by Araujo.
Yeah, truly out of his depth.

That comment to be specific was after reading this comment which is pretty wild.
It insinuates a few things.
1) That if Flick beat this Bayern it is also because it is not the same Bayern as when we played them the last few years (with Xavi).
2) That if Flick wins, then even Xavi could beat this Bayern.
This is what I meant by the Xavi PR.
The fact is though that the Bayern we played in 22/23 was actually worse than this Bayern by statistics, play and form. So, yeah.
And then that troll comes out of the woodwork on that comment. The same guy who was chumping on Flick when we lost the Gamper as some sort of authority, but suddenly shut his trap when Flick started the season well.
But anyways, stand by what I always said with Xavi.
1) Best choice for amigo cleanup phase
2) Won the league which was an incredible triumph but playing hard to watch stuff
3) Had to go as reached the end of the road as manager. Would have been an extremely favourable departure for everyone without the U-turn farce.
Being out of his depth for an elite club is not really an insult either. And it doesn't take anything away from him as a player or anything.
But when the club are saying "hey, we will keep you on but we need to improve the quality of the coaching team around you" but then you say "no, this is my team bro, we ride together, we die together" then it allows any fan to question you.
