Journalist Ivan San Antonio has shared heartbreaking news through SPORT, revealing that Barcelona’s management will meet with Xavi on Monday, delivering the crushing blow that he won’t continue leading the team after this season.

It is a moment fraught with tension and emotion, casting a shadow over Barcelona’s final journey to Seville for the season’s last match.

The impending meeting threatens to hang heavy over the trip, overshadowing the match itself, which holds little significance as Barcelona have secured the second spot.

The real weight, however, lies in the uncertain atmosphere surrounding Xavi, who stands on the brink of departure from the club he holds dear.

Xavi will have to keep a happy face

As Barcelona prepare for the journey, there is a sense of unease, as Deco, the sports director, will take charge, flanked by Xavi, who has undergone a difficult week amid rumours of Hansi Flick’s potential arrival as his successor.

Before departing for Seville, Xavi will face the press and he knows that unless there is a last-minute change of plans from the club’s higher-ups, he will maintain an unresponsive face, keeping his inner turmoil hidden from view.

Caught in a whirlwind of uncertainty, Xavi must tread his words carefully as he grapples with the looming uncertainty of his future. Despite the impending decision, no one has had the courage to deliver the news to him directly yet.

A D-Day for Xavi

Meanwhile, the harsh reality will hit Xavi like a sledgehammer the day after the match. On Monday, he will learn that his tenure as Barcelona’s coach is coming to an abrupt end.

The club’s sudden seriousness, evidenced by Deco and Bojan Krkic’s journey to London to meet with Flick, underscores the gravity of the situation.

It is a bitter pill to swallow, coming four months later than it should have and Barcelona’s search for a new coach signals the end of an era, leaving Xavi to grapple with shattered dreams and unfulfilled promises.
