THE FUSE

After several seasons of transition, financial limits and a loss of identity, FC Barcelona in 2025 seem to have figured out what's next for them. At first, Xavi Hernández was seen as the romantic figure holding on to Barça's legacy, but now he is recognized as a pragmatic modern coach who understands the need for change without giving up on the basics. Fans gradually understood that each match of FC Barcelona used to be a masterclass in tactics sometimes great, sometimes dangerous but hardly ever boring.
