Summary: Barcelona was eliminated from the cup after a 4:2 loss at Bilbao/Sport1
Barcelona continues to look for a replacement for Xavi, who will leave at the end of the season at the latest.
The management's wet dream continues to be Jurgen Klopp, and according to "Sport", "Juan Laporte is convinced that he can meet with him and convince him".
If the wet dream does not come true, there is another German coach in the crosshairs - Thomas Tuchel.
In "Sport" it is claimed that "this is a very popular option among the management" - a few weeks ago this option also seemed impossible, but the bad results of Bayern Munich and the many tensions in the club reduce the chance that the coach will stay for another season with the German luxury team - certainly if you lose the the championship.
"The Spanish league has always interested Tuchel," it says.
"If Barcelona approaches him, there is no doubt that he will have to consider it. Either way, Barcelona want to finish the search by the first week of March. The new coach will have a series of difficult decisions, and he will need a lot of time."
The pressure in Munich is increasing.

And what about the procurement sector?
The Catalan media brought up the name of a new candidate today (Tuesday) - Milan star Rafael Laao, who has an exit clause of 150 million euros.
Barcelona will not be able to pay these amounts, but they are working on freeing up space in the budget.
Another name that is on the table is Amadou Onana from Everton.
