Xavi’s job under threat if Barcelona lose to Porto in UCL

Barcelona are first in the Champions League group stage

Xavi's future at Barcelona will be determined by the outcome of the match against Porto since he has come under fire. The Catalan team has been struggling for victories lately, and their recent tie with Rayo has increased pressure on the former Barcelona player.

Xavi, who helped Barcelona win La Liga the previous season, hasn't seen his team put on a strong showing, so he'll do everything in his power to help them defeat Porto in the Champions League.

The Spanish powerhouses are top of the Champions League group stage and fourth in La Liga. Barcelona's season hasn't started off well, and Xavi needs things to turn around if he wants to keep his job.

It has appeared forlorn for Barcelona, who added Joao Felix and Cancelo to their forward lineup this summer. With Ousmane Dembele's departure on the left, Lamine Yamal emerged and is now a regular starter for the team.

The draw heightens the uncertainties around Barcelona, who haven't played well in a few weeks and will take on Porto on Tuesday in an attempt to advance to the Champions League knockout phase.

After the international break, everyone was wondering how Barcelona and Xavi would take over the team's soul and heart.

Young Gavi's determination helped hide the weaknesses, enabling Barca to win games right away that, on the basis of team play alone, they most likely didn't deserve to win.

However, with one man out, Xavi also had a chance thanks to Frenkie de Jong's comeback and Pedri's return to form after a prolonged absence.

In actuality, Xavi had to perform flawlessly in this match. From here on out, the calendar doesn't get much simpler, and Barcelona has already seen a decline in trust.

The manager is still having trouble getting his team ready for victory.

Moving forward, a little regularity could be helpful. To do that, though, Xavi would have to select the best players for the system he hopes to establish.

Although the task at hand is difficult, it is necessary if Barcelona is to bring home any hardware this year.
