Xavi Hernandez Announces Departure from FC Barcelona, Sparking Social Media Frenzy

This Saturday, FC Barcelona’s coach and former footballer, Xavi Hernandez, announced his departure from the club once La Liga concludes on June 30th, stating that Barça “deserves a change in direction” and “as a fan,” he cannot allow the situation to continue, as reported by the team’s official account via X (formerly Twitter).

The decision made by the Barcelona native sparked thousands of reactions on social media, where fans lamented his farewell, while others seized the opportunity to share their best memes.

“Does Barça need a coach, or does it run on autopilot?” he wrote in a message that users have resurfaced to mock the defeats accumulated by Barça in just a few weeks, leading to the sudden departure of their coach, Xavi Hernandez.
