Cury: Xavi's Future Hinges on Champions League Glory

André Cury, a former Barcelona scout in Brazil, has weighed in on the recent speculation surrounding manager Xavi Hernandez. Cury believes that Xavi's future at the club is tied to their performance in the Champions League.

"If Barcelona wins the Champions League, Xavi will not leave," Cury is quoted as saying. "He knows the club. He's a great coach, and injuries and problems have made things more difficult for him."

Xavi, a legendary Barcelona player himself, returned to the club as manager in 2021. While there have been glimpses of his playing philosophy, Barcelona's struggles with injuries and squad imbalance have made consistent results elusive. The Champions League, a competition synonymous with Barcelona's success, now presents itself as a potential turning point.

Cury's comments highlight the pressure Xavi faces. Winning the Champions League would be a significant achievement, solidifying his position and potentially ushering in a new era of dominance for the club.
