Dissatisfied Barcelona Fans Roast Coach Xavi As Club Nears Champions League Elimination

• Barcelona are on the cusp of Champions League elimination after the Catalan giants failed to secure a win at home against Inter Milan
• The Catalan giants have their work cut out if they want to avoid back-to-back group stage exit and would have to count on favours from Viktoria Plzen
• This has sparked outrage among followers of the club, who have berated their head coach for a number of reasons with some suggesting a possible sack of the legend

Fans of FC Barcelona have levelled the blame on head coach Xavi Hernandez following his side's disappointing draw in the six-goal thriller against Inter Milan on Wednesday night.

Xavi's Barcelona had to win against the Nerazzurri to avoid yet another Champions League group elimination in two successive seasons, after picking just a win in three games.

Frenchman Ousmane Dembele sent the fully-packed Camp Nou stadium into delirium with the game's opener however a defiant Inter levelled the score just after recess before taking the lead twice only to surrender it at the death.

Barcelona had to rely on Lewandowski's late heroics to salvage a draw in the rollercoaster encounter, as reported by Mirror.

Following the blast of the whistle, fans of the Blaugrana took to social media to register their displeasure with manager Xavi as the six-time winners of the competition near an exit, BBC reports.

Below are some of the comments of supporters:

@Ayesha_umer_10 intimated the former midfielder has to be shown the door for leaving De Jong out of his starting lineup

"Xavi should be sacked just for benching Frenkie De Jong."

Another user @KayPoissonOne suggests Xavi deserves to be punished for deploying players in the wrong positions:

"Look at How Good Raphinha actually is when you play him in his right position. He should have scored though. They should give Xavi 3 lashes for doing those Haram things."

@CrewsMat10 tweeted:

"Xavi is an absolute fool for not starting De Jong and Balde can’t believe this."

@imsunil189 thinks the Barcelona head coach is biased with his selections:

"Completely biased Xavi prefers only Spanish players in defence and midfield no matter what."

@FancyDiMaria corroborated the thoughts of @imsunil189:

"Xavi is a politician. Why keep De Jong on the bench just to make way for Spaniards?"

Lewandowski saves Barcelona from Champions League elimination

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Robert Lewandowski scored two late goals to save Barcelona from elimination from the Champions League in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Inter Milan on Wednesday at Camp Nou.

The Polish forward pulled Xavi Hernandez's side level at 2-2 in the 82nd minute and then again at 3-3 in stoppage time, after Robin Gosens put the Italians ahead with one minute remaining.

Barcelona's Champions League fate is no longer in their own hands though and they still face a second consecutive group stage elimination if Inter Milan wins at home against eliminated Viktoria Plzen on October 26.
