BOLASPORT.COM – Barcelona legend Xavi Hernández prefers Frenkie de Jong to Lionel Messi as the player who will determine Barcelona’s new era.

Barcelona have made massive changes at the start of the 2020-2021 season after obtaining minor results in the previous edition.

Last season, the Catalan club was completely battered after being humiliated by Bayern Munich with a score of 2-8 in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Furthermore, Barça also failed to win a title that season.

Therefore, the Barcelona management made a reform by firing Quique Setien from the coach’s chair.

Subsequently, his post was replaced by Ronald Koeman.

Barça later expelled several veteran players such as Ivan Rakitic, Arturo Vidal and Luis Suárez.

However, the dismissal of senior players was not accompanied by Barca’s success in pursuing targeted players like Memphis Depay and Georginio Wijnaldum.

Barça could only bring in Miralem Pjanic from Juventus.
