What Laporta said to Xavi after Barca's defeat

After the defeat suffered in the Champions League against Shakhtar, the president of Barça spoke with coach Xavi.

The president of FC Barcelona, ​​Joan Laporta, has just expressed his full support for the coach of the first team, Xavi.

Xavi has nothing to fear

Laporta did not attend the Champions League defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk in Hamburg. According to Mundo Deportivo, he still took care to call the coach at the end of the game to assure him of his full support and confidence.

Xavi appreciated the gesture after admitting the defeat was his worst since taking over at the Nou Camp in January 2021.

The former Barça star recently signed a new contract until 2025. But, since this extension, the results have not been very good. In addition to the setback against Donetsk, there was also the poor performance against Real Madrid during the Clasico (2-1).
