Making XMLHttpRequest function with eventListener doesn't work

I've started learning xml and I have a problem with XMLHttpRequest. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? Why this works?

function load_hendler() {
  if (this.status == 200 && this.readyState == 4) {
    console.log(this.responseXML)
  }
}
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
xhr.onload = load_hendler
xhr.open("GET", "./students.xml")
xhr.send()

...but this don't

function xhr_general_request() {
  const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()
  xhr.onload = () => {
    if (xhr.status == 200 && xhr.readyState == 4) {
      console.log(this.responseXML)
    }
  }
  xhr.open("GET", "./students.xml")
  xhr.send()
}
