Another love story comes to an end. After the one between Klopp and Liverpool, Xavi has also decided to leave Barcelona at the end of the season. The decision of the former midfielder comes after the 5-3 defeat against Villarreal. The yellow submarine, this is the nickname of the club where Giuseppe Rossi also played, was under 3-2 at 71', but then scored the go-ahead goal in the ninth minute of recovery, before dropping the fifth at 101'.

Klopp announces his departure from Liverpool: "I am leaving the club at the end of the season. I don't have the energy to continue"

Xavi: "I'm leaving in June"

A performance that did not please the coach who never had an easy life on the blaugrana bench. "Before you start asking questions, I will not be coaching Barcelona from June 30th on". This is how the former midfielder started in the press conference, who wanted to give a signal as soon as the meeting with the journalists started: "I spoke with Laporta and the sports management. I think we need to change dynamics. I think about the team and the players, I believe with this move they will be released and will be more relaxed".

The Spaniard also echoed Klopp's words: "I have energy, it's not that, it's really about a change of course. The decision is irrevocable. If we had won 3-2 maybe I wouldn't have said it today, but maybe next week it was about finding the time, I had decided it long ago". Finally, there's also a thought for the family: "I don't know what the future holds for me because this job makes me spend less time with my family. They suffer and I can't be so selfish for my whole career".
