As stated in the ppa description:

Only Supported Versions of PHP (http://php.net/supported-versions.php) for Supported Ubuntu Releases (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases) are provided.

Ubuntu 16.04 is no longer supported since April 2021, so I think there is also no longer a xenial branch of php 8.0. I’d suggest to upgrade Ubuntu to ver. 20.04 LTS in order to be able to use php 8.0
