Barcelona fans, particularly on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), are vehemently calling for the removal of head coach Xavi Hernandez following the team’s recent defeat against Royal Antwerp in the UEFA Champions League.
The disappointing 3-2 loss on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, marked Barcelona’s second consecutive defeat, following a prior 4-2 loss against Girona in the La Liga.
The frustration among Barcelona supporters is palpable on social media, where some have expressed their anger and urged the club to part ways with the legendary coach.
Fans argue that despite having a talented squad, the team has not been performing at its best this season, and the manager seems to be struggling to find effective solutions.
It’s noteworthy that, despite the recent setbacks, Barcelona managed to top their group with 12 points, edging out Porto on head-to-head results.
Shakhtar Donetsk secured the third spot, while Antwerp finished at the bottom of the group.
