Weakened on the Barça bench, Xavi himself spoke of his departure this Wednesday in front of the press.
It is an understatement to say that Barça’s disaster against Real Madrid on Sunday in the Spanish Super Cup final weakened Xavi Hernandez’s position. The day after the humiliation, the daily Sport denounced “ a defeat that requires making decisions » ; the Spanish press as a whole is relishing the crisis experienced by the Catalan giant.
Comforted on the Blaugrana bench by the club’s sporting director, Deco, from the final whistle of the Merengue nightmare, Xavi nevertheless seemed to suffer the blow. This Wednesday, it was lucid and responsible that he chose to address the question of his future. “ This year, the objective is to win important titles, the Copa del Rey, La Liga or the Champions League. If the goals are not achieved, I will be the first to say that I did not achieve them and I will leave. »
All for the Cup?
Last season, the Barcelona coach was able to lead his troops to triumph in La Liga and the Super Cup. In view of the delay observed in the championship and the adversity in C1, the national title and the queen of the European cups seem inaccessible to Barça in this 2023-2024 financial year. There remains the Cup, and a round of 16 to come against Salamanca, which plays in the third division. Beware of missteps!
