How Barcelona’s toxicity forced Xavi out

Описание: Xavi will be stepping down as Barcelona manager at the end of the season. After a thrashing against Villarreal in their temporary back garden. The Barca legend was prompt into following his managerial colleague, Jurgen Klopp, and throwing in the towel.

Ayo Akinwolere is joined by Barcelona correspondent, Pol Ballus and La Liga Correspondent, Dermot Corrigan. The trio touch on the mental struggles he faced when in charge and the lack of confidence the board showed the former star.

The question now is who will be best to take over? Considering the current form of the team and the state of the finances. Whoever it is will have a huge task on their hands.
