Barcelona meets Xavi in ​​Doha, Valverde risks

The mocking knockout against Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup, which arrived only in the final and after having dominated for the entire match, could cost Ernesto Valverde the bench in Barcelona, ​​if not immediately probably in the summer. According to Catalan radio RAC1, today the Blaugrana leadership (DS Eric Abidal and the CEO Oscar Grau) met in Doha Xavi Hernandez, the former Blaugrana flag and current Al Sadd coach. According to the broadcaster, always very close to the 'drafts' of the Ciutat Esportiva 'Joan Gamper', the two would have probed the availability of Xavi, 17 years old at Barcelona with more than 500 games played, in the event of early or summer exit of the 'Txingurri'. The ex-captain of the Barca has never hidden his desire to lead the blaugrana in the future, despite knowing that the Catalan bench requires not only enthusiasm but also great ability and experience.
