  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Xavi's future at Barcelona has become the subject of speculation after ESPN reported on Tuesday that a section of his squad has started questioning the manager's methods and decision-making. Amid rumours of him leaving the club next season, the 43-year-old coach has opened up on his future course of action.

    WHAT XAVI SAID

    Speaking to reporters, the Catalan manager said: "I love this club. I'm here to bring something to it. If I don't do it, I'll go home. If I hadn't won La Liga last year I wouldn't be here. The day my players no longer follow me, I'll pack my bags and leave. When someone tells me there's a problem, I'll leave.

    He added: "When the owners signed me from Qatar, they said it was one of the worst moments in the club's history and we're in the process of changing things. I'm calm. I have three titles to win. We're closer to success than failure."

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The reigning Spanish champions have had a difficult start to their campaign this season as they currently find themselves fourth in La Liga, eight points behind leaders Girona and seven behind fierce rivals Real Madrid. On top of that, they have lost twice to Los Blancos, including the recent 4-1 drubbing in the Spanish Super Cup final.
