By Tom Gott Barcelona midfielder Pedri has urged Xavi to rethink his decision to step down at the end of the season. Xavi revealed in January that he plans to leave the club this summer, blaming the pressure and stress of managing Barcelona for his abrupt exit, but his announcement led to a massive upturn in form from the team. Indeed, Barcelona are unbeaten in the 12 games since Xavi revealed his plan to leave, picking up eight victories and a huge 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, in which Pedri marked his return from injury with an impressive assist. After the game, Pedri u...

By Tom Gott Barcelona manager Xavi insists his side are still not favourites to advance to the Champions League semi-finals despite Wednesday's 3-2 victory over Paris Saint-Germain. Two goals from Raphinha and a header from Andreas Christensen saw Barcelona pick up a huge victory away from home in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, giving them an advantage to defend when PSG head to Catalonia next week. Despite boasting a slender advantage heading into the return leg, Xavi insisted PSG remain the favourites to win the tie. "PSG are still favourites, and they played a great game, but we ...

By Sean Walsh Barcelona edged a Champions League classic to take a slender one-goal lead into the second leg of their quarter-final with Paris Saint-Germain. The reigning French champions were made to pay for a largely flat and naive performance, eventually succumbing to a 3-2 loss on home soil. Xavi's young guns held their nerve and ran out deserved winners at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday night. How the game unfoldedAfter an opening 20 minutes of half-chances coming to nothing, Barcelona nearly took the lead when Gianluigi Donnarumma failed to claim Ilkay Gundogan's corner, and Robert Le...

By James Cormack Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have encountered one another with such frequency in modern times that a simmering rivalry has been allowed to brew. There's nothing eternal about Barca and PSG's competitive spat but this rivalry has transcended mere on-field battles. The pair have often duelled over transfer targets following PSG's rise to elite relevance in the 2010s, with the French club's artificially cultivated financial might coming to the fore when they prised Neymar away from Catalonia for a world-record fee in 2017. Barca have so often been the thorn in PSG's quest fo...

By Tom Gott Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has claimed that he embodies the famous 'Barcelona DNA' more than current Blaugrana boss Xavi. Enrique has been touted as a potential replacement for Xavi at the end of the season, and although the PSG manager has openly admitted he wants to manage Barca again, he has vowed not to walk away from his current club while under contract. Ahead of Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg between the two sides, Enrique was asked whether he feels he is a better fit for Barcelona than Xavi, and he did not shy away from making his feeling...

By James Cormack Xavi Hernandez takes charge of his first Champions League quarter-final with Barcelona travelling to French capital for the first leg against Paris Saint-Germain. Such occasions were minor for Xavi, the player, but the Spaniard already entered unchartered terrirtory as a manager by overseeing Barca's progression into the knockout stages. The Catalans have struggled for relevancy in this competition since their 2019 Anfield collapse, but a deep run is plausible in 2024 with Barca finding themselves on the 'right' side of the draw. Here's the lineup Xavi could pick for Wednesday...

By Tom Gott Kylian Mbappe has warned Barcelona that he plans to stand up and take centre stage in Wednesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg. Mbappe bagged four goals against Barca across the two legs of 2020/21's last 16 and is hoping to get his hands on the Champions League trophy this season before leaving Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, with Barca's rivals Real Madrid his expected destination. "It's the time for great players," Mbappe told Telefoot. "I am ready and, as always, I am not going to hide. "Seeing the dynamic we have, I'm sure we're going to give it our all, th...

By Jude Summerfield Luis Enrique admitted his delight at avoiding the favourites in the Champions League quarter-finals as his Paris Saint-Germain side were paired with former club Barcelona in Friday's draw. The two European giants will collide over two legs in April for a spot in the semi-finals. The winner will face one of Atletico Madrid or Borussia Dortmund, with Manchester City, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Bayern Munich on the other side of the tournament tree.
