Former Barcelona midfielder Thiago brutally responds to rumors of his return to Camp Nou.

This season has been quite atrocious for FC Barcelona, forcing the club to sack then-manager Ronald Koeman after failing to garner shots on-target during games against subpar competition. However, Barca's poor form may serve as a blessing in disguise; club legend Xavi returned to Camp Nou in hopes of reviving his club's former glory across Europe.

New leadership for a club often leads to a different style of play and varying preferences in utilizing players. Current Liverpool midfielder Thiago has been linked to rumors regarding a possible return to his boyhood club. The Spaniard's departure from Barcelona in 2013 came as a surprise, which led to some criticism from fans as Thiago managed to thrive elsewhere.

Usually, world-class players would be excited about a possible return to their former club. But, Thiago doesn't seem concerned at all.

Despite Thiago's good reputation, Liverpool doesn't often utilize his services due to constant injury concerns. Still, the English club manages to keep up with the Premier League's best.

On the other hand, Barcelona stands at 7th of the La Liga table, searching for a momentum switch to compete with talented clubs across Europe. Barca fans shouldn't;t worry much as Xavi's leadership proved to be effective in his first game as manager, bagging a 1-0 win against Espanyol.

Is Thiago's return an essential move for Barcelona to gain rhythm?
