Held in check by Valencia (1-1), FC Barcelona still managed to gain a place in the Liga standings to find themselves third. Enough to give some fresh air to Xavi, whose future is very uncertain. Indeed, if Joan Laporta once again expressed his support for his coach, the Blaugrana president still confided that decisions will be made if Barça completes a season without a trophy.
“He has all our trust and he deserves it. When you give someone confidence, they give their best. The confidence we have in Xavi is total. Besides his knowledge, he is a great coach, but he also has the virtue of being a resilient person who protects his players, which says a lot about Xavi. He’s also had to overcome a lot of adversity this season because of injuries and he’s overcoming them. In his post-match analyses, he’s magnificent, I tell him that when I listen to one of his press conferences. There are always consequences to defeat. If we don’t win titles this season, we will have to make decisions, those that the club needs most, based on what has been done. The fact is that we are alive in all competitions”he confided in comments relayed by Sport.
