Follow Us
FC Barcelona have had a horrible time in the past few years. The peak of winning the treble in 2015 has now transformed into the low of playing in the Europa League this season. However, it seems like their tough times are now over.
New manager Xavi has changed the club’s spirits and turned the tide around. Barca won a lot of matches this season and looked good while they were doing it. However, the club’s finances are still a mess and they’ll have to sell a few players this season just to play by the La Liga rules.
It’s an unfortunate situation for a club of this stature. They were getting better, and now Xavi might have to start all over again.
