FC Barcelona manager Xavi has been under pressure, with the Spaniard already announcing that he will leave the club at the end of the season, but, could he be gone sooner than that if he gets knocked out of the Champions League tonight?
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez could indeed be relieved of his duties if Barcelona fails to get past SSC Napoli in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 tie.
Barcelona welcomes Napoli to the Camp Nou in a Champions League clash expected to be hard-fought, for both sides.
Both teams drew 1-1 in the first leg, with Nigerian inspiration Victor Osimhen netting for Napoli to rescue a draw on the night. It’s all to play for today, and the loser of this clash will be out of the competition.
Napoli has a higher chance of losing this though, as their league form is so bad that they are currently seventh in the Serie A table, despite winning the league last campaign.
Barcelona sits third in La Liga, one point behind high-flying Girona, who are having their best season ever.
