Under-pressure Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez said yesterday he would resign if his squad no longer believed in him following last weekend’s heavy Spanish Super Cup final loss to Real Madrid.
Barca were hammered 4-1 by Madrid on Sunday and sit eight points off leaders Girona in the LaLiga table.
Defensively the Catalans have struggled this year which is in stark contrast to last season’s Liga success.
They have conceded 22 goals at the halfway stage of the league season after shipping only 20 in the whole of the 2022-23 campaign.
“The day my players no longer follow me, I’ll pack my bags and leave,” Xavi told reporters.
“If I hadn’t won LaLiga last year I wouldn’t be here.
“When someone tells me there’s a problem, I’ll leave. — SuperSport.
