Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández's decision to step down in the summer has had a significant impact on the team's recent performance in LaLiga and the Champions League. Since Xavi announced his departure in January, Barcelona has been on an impressive unbeaten streak of 12 matches. This run has seen them rise to second place in the league standings and secure a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time since 2020, with a notable victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg.
Xavi attributed the team's recent success to the sense of calm that has surrounded the club since his announcement. He emphasized that knowing there is an 'expiry date' for his tenure has been beneficial for the team's focus and performance. Xavi expressed confidence in his decision, stating that it was made in the best interest of the club and has ultimately contributed to their current position.
