Since making his breakthrough with FC Barcelona’s first team, young star Lamine Yamal has found himself the subject of comparisons to the legendary <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a>. In addition to his exceptional talent and dribbling skills, young Spanish sensation has now added another point of similarity to his growing list with La Pulga. The rising star has recently achieved another asterisk that further draws parallels to the Argentine icon’s illustrious career.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">FC Barcelona</a> has officially announced that Lamine Yamal will wear the number 19 jersey for the 2024-25 season. This is the same number worn by Lionel Messi during his formative years at the club from 2005 to 2008, adding another layer of connection between the young talent and the Argentine legend.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a>, who turned 17 on July 13th, last year wore the number 27, making 50 appearances and scoring 7 goals, only one game behind German midfielder Ilkay Gündogan. 



As Ansu Fati reclaims his place in the FC Barcelona first team, Yamal has chosen to wear the number 19 jersey instead of the number 10, which was previously worn by Fati before his loan spell in the Premier League with Brighton.

<h2>A jersey number that has already brought Yamal joy</h2>



Last weekend, Spain clinched the Euro 2024 championship with a thrilling victory over England in the final. Lamine Yamal played a pivotal role in the match, starting as a key player for coach Luis de la Fuente’s squad and standing out throughout the tournament.



A fun fact is that the FC Barcelona star wore the number 19 on his jersey during the tournament, a number he will also don for Barcelona starting this season. Now, the question is whether he can lead his club to championship glory as well.

There are many big names in world soccer, but not many look so promising as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a>. The teenager has already broken countless records with both Barcelona and the Spanish national team, which is why fans are eager to see his development.



At 15 years, 9 months and 16 days, Yamal became the youngest debutant in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> history when he came on in the final minutes of the 4-0 win over Betis in LaLiga on April 29, 2023.



From then on, the La Masia product established himself in the first team, eventually drawing <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a>‘s attention as well. His reported salary, however, has yet to reflect his progress and potential.



<h2>Lamine Yamal’s contract with Barcelona</h2>



On October 2, 2023, Lamine Yamal signed a contract extension with Barcelona through June 2026. Though the terms of the deal weren’t completely revealed, the club did announce that it includes a €1 billion release clause.

<h2>How much does Lamine Yamal make a week?</h2>



According to Capology, Lamine Yamal has a base salary of €1,670,000 per season or €32,115 per week, without considering bonuses. If we consider his weekly salary on a monthly basis it would be €128,460 per month; €4,588 per day; €191 per hour; €3.2 per minute; or €0.05 per second.

In the last few hours, social media has gone wild with the picture of a young Lionel Messi holding a baby <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal">Lamine Yamal</a> in his arms. And it didn’t take long for Barcelona to explain the story behind this photo, which promises to become iconic.



Call it destiny or coincidence, but the 20-year-old Messi was pictured with a six-month-old Yamal for a 2008 charity calendar organized by the FC <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> Foundation in association with Catalan outlet Sport to raise funds for UNICEF and the Foundation’s charity work.



The project started in 2004, with an annual calendar being printed each year. According to a club statement, the 2008 edition aimed to highlight “the programmes for the support of children around the world and was supported by members of the senior football team.”



Apart from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Messi</a>, the likes of Deco, Bojan Krkic, Rafa Marquez and Xavi Hernandez were also chosen to appear in the photos. And that’s how Leo happened to take a picture with a baby who would eventually draw comparisons with him in world soccer.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="677" height="866" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28065749/image-9-677x866.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-143559" sizes="(max-width: 677px) 100vw, 677px"></figure></div></figure>



<h2>Years after the viral photo, Yamal looks to follow in Messi’s footsteps</h2>



Since that picture was taken, Lionel Messi went on to make a case to be considered not only the greatest player to ever don the FC Barcelona uniform, but also the best to ever play the game. The Argentine holds club records for most appearances and goals, among many other milestones.

Back in 2007, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamine-yamal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamine Yamal</a>‘s family lucked out—they scored a chance for their six-month-old baby to star in a photoshoot with a Barcelona player. The shoot was for a charity calendar, and guess who the lucky player was? None other than a young 20-year-old <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lionel Messi</a>, just starting to make waves in his Barcelona career.



Fast forward to 2024, and it’s Yamal who is making major waves now at only 16 years of age, playing for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spain</a> in the Euros. Lamine Yamal has scored 1 goal and provided 3 assists in 6 matches in the competition. At the senior level, he has played 51 games for Barcelona, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists.



To say he is not a gem in the making is an understatement. Now, the GOAT and the future may face each other in a competition that holds a lot of bragging rights.

If Messi is still a part of the Argentine national team and wins the Copa America, and if Yamal is with Spain and they win the 2024 Euros, the two players could meet in the Finalissima, which <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Argentina</a> has won outright.

Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi could face each other! Find out how

Lamine Yamal and Lionel Messi could face each other in the Finalissima - Bolavip US

Spain is gearing up for a crucial <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/uefa-euro">UEFA Euro 2024</a> semifinal match against France, vying for a place in the final and aiming to secure their fourth European Championship title, which would make them the most successful team in the competition’s history. Unfortunately, they will have to do so without Pedri, who will also miss the final if <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/spain">Spain</a> advances.



The young midfielder suffered a sprained inner lateral ligament in his left knee in the quarter-final match against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/germany">Germany</a>, after a hard foul by Toni Kroos just three minutes into the game. Despite attempting to continue, Pedri was forced to leave the field and was replaced by Dani Olmo after just seven minutes.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> has indicated that Pedri’s recovery could take up to a month and a half. This timeline means the 21-year-old midfielder will miss the preseason and could be doubtful for the start of the Spanish LaLiga on August 16.



<h2>Pedri’s response to Toni Kroos</h2>



Following Spain’s 2-1 extra-time victory over Germany, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> midfielder Toni Kroos, who committed the foul that led to Pedri’s injury, sent a message of apology: “Sorry and get well soon Pedri! It was not my intention to hurt you. A speedy recovery and all the best. You are a great player.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/28065942/pedri-injury-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-142764" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Pedri of Spain reacts as he leaves the field following medical treatment after picking up an injury. Clive Mason/Getty Images</figcaption></figure>



Pedri responded the next day, expressing his gratitude in a social media post: “I came to Germany for Euro 2024 and here I will continue, until the end. Because the dream, have no doubt, continues. This week it’s my turn to encourage and contribute in another way to this great family that is the Spanish National Team. Your support and that of all of you are incredible. The hardest moment has passed and the road back to being at full strength with Barcelona has begun. Thank you, Toni Kroos, for your message. This is soccer, and these things happen. Your career and your achievements will remain forever.”

Unfortunately, Gavi suffered a torn ACL while playing for Spain last November. The midfielder has not recovered from it yet, which is why he was not considered for the Euro 2024.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-galaxy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LA Galaxy</a> are ready to take back the mantle of the best team in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Major League Soccer</a>.

With the arrival of Reus, the Galaxy stand to improve greatly for the remaining part of 2024, but looking ahead and according to AS in Spain, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/robert-lewandowski" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Robert Lewandowski</a> has entered the MLS team’s radar.



Lewandowski has a contract with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FC Barcelona</a> until June of 2026, but a report from AS suggests that Barcelona will be looking to restructure their squad come next season and may listen to offers for some of their players.

MLS is going through a push of trying to bag big-time stars in order to make their Apple TV deal more lucrative and attractive to the common fan outside of MLS. Despite the league’s push to go younger, MLS has never shied away from signing big-name stars to the league to raise the league’s profile.

" title="How many UEFA Champions League titles has Cristiano Ronaldo won?" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/champions-league-titles-cristiano-ronaldo"></div>


The UEFA Champions League, formerly known as the European Cup, has seen countless superstars throughout its decades-long history. And it’s safe to say <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> is one of the greatest players to ever take part in the competition.



The Argentine superstar has etched his name in the European tournament’s history books by leading <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> to multiple titles, delivering unforgettable memories not only for Blaugrana fans, but also for soccer enthusiasts around the world.



The Rosario-born maestro took the spotlight whenever he took the field on a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/champions-league">Champions League</a> night, but many wonder how many times he actually went the distance and lifted the trophy. Here’s a breakdown of Messi’s record.



<h2>Total of Lionel Messi’s UEFA Champions League Titles</h2>



Lionel Messi has captured the UEFA Champions League crown on four occasions. Although he didn’t feature in the final during Barcelona’s 2006 triumph, his contribution throughout the tournament included a goal and two assists across six matches.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/28073410/Messi-UCL-title-2011-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona poses with the trophy after victory in the UEFA Champions League final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United FC at Wembley Stadium on May 28, 2011 in London, England." class="wp-image-128594" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi of FC Barcelona poses with the trophy after victory in the UEFA Champions League final between FC Barcelona and Manchester United FC at Wembley Stadium on May 28, 2011 in London, England.</figcaption></figure>



Additionally, his 2006 medal sparked debates about whether a player must appear in the final to truly “earn” the title. Nevertheless, official records credit him as a winner alongside the rest of the squad that season.



<h2>In which years and teams did Lionel Messi win the Champions League?</h2>



Lionel Messi has won all four UEFA Champions League titles with FC Barcelona. While his first success came as an 18-year-old prospect in 2006, the Argentine was already an established starter in the 2009, 2011 and 2015 triumphs.



<ul><li>2006 | FC Barcelona 2-1 Arsenal (18 years old – not part of the squad)</li><li>2009 | FC Barcelona 2-0 Manchester United (21 years old – starter)</li><li>2011 | FC Barcelona 3-1 Manchester United (23 years old – starter)</li><li>2015 | FC Barcelona 3-1 Juventus (27 years old – starter)</li></ul>



<h2>What are the key moments in Lionel Messi’s Champions League victories?</h2>



Messi’s Champions League impact began on November 2, 2005, when he netted his first goal in a 5-0 rout of Panathinaikos. His presence truly shone in the knockout stages of the 2005-06 campaign, scoring against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chelsea">Chelsea</a> in the last 16 first leg.



By 2009, wearing the iconic No. 10 shirt, he had become indispensable. His two goals and pair of assists in the quarterfinal first leg against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayern-munich">Bayern Munich</a> laid the foundation for a comfortable 4-0 win.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/28073409/Messi-vs-Man-Utd-2009-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Lionel Messi of Barcelona celebrates scoring the second goal for Barcelona during the UEFA Champions League Final match between Barcelona and Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico on May 27, 2009 in Rome, Italy." class="wp-image-128595" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi of Barcelona celebrates scoring the second goal for Barcelona during the UEFA Champions League Final match between Barcelona and Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico on May 27, 2009 in Rome, Italy.</figcaption></figure>



In the semifinals, he assisted Iniesta in a dramatic return leg against Chelsea. The final saw Messi score a memorable header to down <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/manchester-united">Manchester United</a>. In the 2010-11 season, he reached new heights by surpassing the club’s all-time Champions League scoring record during the group stage.



His crowning performance that year came at the Santiago Bernabeu, netting twice against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> in the semifinal first leg. The final at Wembley confirmed his class with another goal to secure a 3-1 win over Manchester United.



The 2014-15 campaign added another chapter, as The Argentine ace’s semifinal brace against Bayern included a solo effort that later earned UEFA’s Goal of the Season award.



<h2>How does Lionel Messi’s Champions League record compare to other players?</h2>



Despite Lionel Messi’s quartet of Champions League titles, the competition has seen players with even more triumphs. Notably, he appeared in three finals, adding context to his achievements.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/28073411/Messi-UCL-title-2015-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Lionel Messi of Barcelona celebrates with the trophy watched by Luis Suarez after the UEFA Champions League Final between Juventus and FC Barcelona at Olympiastadion on June 6, 2015 in Berlin, Germany." class="wp-image-128593" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Lionel Messi of Barcelona celebrates with the trophy watched by Luis Suarez after the UEFA Champions League Final between Juventus and FC Barcelona at Olympiastadion on June 6, 2015 in Berlin, Germany.</figcaption></figure>



His four trophies leave him two shy of Francisco Gento’s record six European Cups with Real Madrid. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cristiano-ronaldo">Cristiano Ronaldo</a>, his enduring rival, boasts five titles: one with Manchester United and four with Real Madrid.



Interestingly, other Real Madrid stars like Dani Carvajal, Luka Modrić and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/karim-benzema">Karim Benzema</a> have also matched Ronaldo’s tally, underlining Madrid’s continued dominance in Europe.



<h4>Players with most European Cup/Champions League titles (all time)</h4>



<ul><li>6 Francisco Gento (Real Madrid)</li><li>6 Karim Benzema (Real Madrid)</li><li>6 Dani Carvajal (Real Madrid)</li><li>5 Luka Modrić (Real Madrid)</li><li>5 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United, Real Madrid)</li><li>5 Paolo Maldini (AC Milan)</li><li>5 Alfredo Di Stéfano (Real Madrid)</li><li>5 José María Zárraga (Real Madrid)</li><li>4 Lionel Messi (Barcelona)</li></ul>



<h2>Messi’s impact beyond titles: His legacy in Europe’s elite competition</h2>



Lionel Messi’s influence in the UEFA Champions League transcends the four titles he has secured. Throughout his career, he has amassed an impressive 129 goals in the competition, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo in the all-time rankings.



His creative prowess is evident in his 40 assists, showcasing not only his scoring ability but also his vision and playmaking skills. He has also earned four Golden Boots in the Champions League (2008-09, 2009-10, 2010-11, and 2011-12).



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/05/27131109/Lionel-Messi-12-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-405891" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Luis Suarez, Lionel Messi and Neymar of Barcelona celebrate with the trophy after the UEFA Champions League Final against Juventus on June 6, 2015. (Source: Matthias Hangst/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Beyond the numbers, his mesmerizing solo runs, dribbles that left defenders in his wake, and clutch goals in knockout stages have created an enduring legacy. For example, his unforgettable performance against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> in 2012, where he became the first player to score five goals in a single Champions League match, remains a highlight of his career. 



Even when his team did not lift the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-trophy">trophy</a>, Messi consistently delivered jaw-dropping moments that elevated the competition’s standard and set the benchmark for excellence.

Barcelona have won the UEFA Women’s Champions League for the second straight season, a feat that even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a> celebrated. The Argentine maestro took to Instagram to congratulate his former club.



“Congratulations, champions!,” Messi wrote in Spanish as he shared a picture of Barca women’s team lifting the trophy after beating Olympique Lyon 2-0 in the grand final at San Mames on Saturday.



Messi, who will turn 37 on June 24th, is the most successful player in Barcelona history with 35 titles. Barca Femeni star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alexia-putellas">Alexia Putellas</a> is closing in on that record, as the Women’s Champions League was her 30th success at the club.



Putellas, 30, has plenty of time to chase Messi’s mark as she has recently agreed on a two-year contract extension to stay in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> until 2026. Leo, on the other hand, had to leave the club overnight in the summer of 2021.

<h2>Remembering Messi’s surprise exit from Barcelona and his next steps</h2>



Messi joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old wonderkid from Argentine side Newell’s Old Boys and eventually became arguably the most impactful player of all time at the Camp Nou.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/who-is-pedrito-juarez-barcelonas-next-lionel-messi" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240410_BUS_117945_Pedrito-Juarez.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Pedrito Juárez is a 10-year-old Argentine who like Messi moved to Barcelona and has been dubbed a “total player”.
" title="Who is Pedrito Juárez? Barcelona’s next Lionel Messi" publication_id="BUS#/soccer/who-is-pedrito-juarez-barcelonas-next-lionel-messi"></div>


Having made it all the way from La Masia to the first team, the 8x Ballon d’Or winner left an indelible mark in Catalonia between 2004 and 2021, when he left the club in a shocking turn of events as Barca were unable to register him due to LaLiga salary cap rules.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/psgs-ucl-title-drought-how-much-have-they-spent-on-mbappe-messi-and-neymar">Messi went on to join PSG</a> as a free agent, spending two years in the French capital before taking his talents to Major League Soccer, where he currently shines for Inter Miami. Of course, he enjoyed plenty of international success in between, succeeding both on the continental and the global stage with Argentina.



Even though <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/messi-joins-psg-13-superstars-who-have-left-barcelona-on-bad-terms-20210811-0011.html">Messi’s departure from Barcelona was painful</a> and it happened on short notice, Leo’s reaction to the women’s team’s recent success proves he’s still deeply connected with the club, even from another continent.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sevilla">Sevilla</a> are poised to take on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> on Matchday 38 of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga">2023/2024 La Liga</a> season. This preview provides a comprehensive analysis of the upcoming match, including venue details, as well as a variety of television and live streaming options available in your country.



The curtain falls on activity in one of Europe’s premier leagues. La Liga will witness its final Matchday, which, unfortunately for followers of this competition, holds little at stake. The only matter that could still be contested is the last Europa League spot, but Real Sociedad‘s superior goal difference over Betis secures the former, even though both teams are level on points.



In this scenario, two rivals with performances below expectations aim to finish as high as possible: Sevilla and Barcelona. However, this match holds significance for the “Cules” as it marks the farewell of Xavi, the club’s legendary player, as coach.

Things at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Barcelona</a> are a mess. Despite reports that the club is looking to sack <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xavi-hernandez" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Xavi</a> and bring in a new manager, things are not what they seem. Barcelona is second in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/la-liga" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LaLiga</a> and was knocked out of the Champions League quarterfinals by PSG. 



Xavi had decided on his own to walk away but did an about-face and continued on as head coach. The club legend has a contract until June 2025. The Barcelona brass are reportedly set to meet on May 30th to make their final decision on the manager.



Xavi has won two titles with Barcelona as coach and amassed an 89-29-24 record since taking over the club in November 2021.

According to 90min, Barcelona would need to pay Xavi 15 million euros if they were to fire him. The 15 million euros would be for his staff members as well as Xavi himself.

Barcelona’s president Joan Laporta recently stated that the club is again facing financial difficulties. Said funds would most likely go to squad expenses that would hit the Catalan giants hard. Laporta and other club officials are hopeful Xavi leaves and renounces at least what is owed to him as a sort of “love” for Barcelona.

While big names have been attached to Xavi’s job, reports indicate the club will have to pick out-of-work managers or Barcelona B coach Rafa Márquez as Xavi’s replacement.

Barcelona would have to pay Xavi millions if they were to sack him

Xavi Hernandez and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/barcelona">Barcelona</a> had another disappointing season without trophies. In the Champions League, they had a big advantage against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/psg">PSG</a> in the quarterfinals, but, a red card for Ronald Araujo produced a debacle.



Meanwhile, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> absolutely dominated La Liga with an extraordinary roster led by Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr. Barcelona had no answer and are currently 14 points behind Carlo Ancelotti’s team.



On January 27th, after a crushing loss against Villarreal, Xavi confirmed he won’t return for the 2024-2025 season. However, due to resurgence in all competitions, Joan Laporta, the club’s president, convinced him to stay.



Now, when everything seemed to be calm with full support for his project, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/xavi-hernandez">Xavi Hernandez</a> has made very controversial statements that might have broken his relationship with Laporta. This could result in him being out of Barca.

<h2>Xavi could be fired from FC Barcelona</h2>



According to reports from RAC1 and Sport, Joan Laporta was enraged after Xavi’s statements on Wednesday, prior to the match against Almeria in La Liga. The coach warned thousands of fans that the club might not succeed in the near future due to a complicated financial situation.

“We will try to compete against this in the coming years, but Barcelona fans must understand that the situation is very difficult. Very complicated. Not only to compete with Real Madrid, but also in Europe. We still don’t know what we will be able to do. We have to see the bigger picture regarding the financial situation and Fair Play. From there, we will decide.”

As a consequence, Laporta will not renew Xavi Hernandez’s contract for the 2024-2025 season. Despite the fact that a few days ago the continuity of Xavi had been announced, the reports point out that the president felt betrayed by his coach with that statement.



In fact, Laporta decided not to travel with the club for the match at Almeria on Thursday. He chose to stay in Barcelona to talk with other executives and make the final move that, according to Sport, will be communicated next week.
