Barcelona manager Xavi CLAIMS they can win the Champions League next season if Lionel Messi joins them – Reports

May 19, 2023

If Barcelona is successful in acquiring Lionel Messi, manager Xavi feels optimistic about his team’s chances in the UEFA Champions League.

The Spaniard, according to journalist Gaston Edul, is quite optimistic about Messi’s prospective return and thinks the Blaugrana may be a major force in Europe in 2019.

The Catalan giants’ Financial Feasibility Plan, which they presented to La Liga on May 19, will soon be evaluated, according to Edul. The strategy for resolving the club’s financial problems is laid out in the plan. The Argentine superstar, who will probably become a free agency in the summer, can be signed by La Liga if they approve of it.

Barcelona hasn’t had much luck lately in the European league. At the group stage, they were ejected from the Champions League. Then, this year, Manchester United eliminated them from the Europa League in a sad manner.

But according to Xavi, Lionel Messi’s addition might have sparked this recent pattern. According to the article, the 35-year-old attacker is seen more as a creative force than a goal-scoring threat by the Spaniard.

Lionel Messi’s arrival to Barcelona’s already formidable offense, which includes players like Robert Lewandowski, Ousmane Dembele, and Raphinha, might pose a serious threat.

The attacker for Paris Saint-Germain has shown to be a reliable scorer, even in big games. In 38 games across tournaments this season, he has 20 goals and 19 assists for the Ligue 1 giants.

He will probably leave Paris because his contract is slated to end this summer. Barcelona may therefore be in pole position to recruit the club legend if they can resolve their financial problems. If not, Messi has offers from Saudi Arabia to play with Cristiano Ronaldo’s rival team or even join Major League Soccer.
