Thierry Henry has compared Xavi Hernandez’s situation at Barcelona to Steven Gerrard – recently sacked by Aston Villa.
Henry was speaking after Barca’s humiliating Champions League group stage exit on Wednesday night – when the Blaugrana crashed out at the first hurdle of the competition for the second successive season.
Xavi’s side’s failure to progress beyond the groups had already been confirmed before they took to the Camp Nou pitch against Bayern Munich – as Inter had already defeated Viktoria Plzen 4-0 to seal their progress – but Barca slumped to a disappointing three-goal loss, in which they did not register a shot on target.
