Barcelona bosses keep their faith in Xavi

The heavy loss to Real Madrid (0:4) at Camp Nou and Barcelona's elimination from the Spanish Cup tournament has not affected the image of coach Xavi Hernandez in front of the club's bosses. For now, they retain their trust in the mentor and the subject of his possible replacement is not on the agenda at all, claims "Sport".

After the defeat by Real Xavi had a conversation with part of the board of directors. It has become clear to him that despite the disappointment of this loss, the bosses have not changed their attitude towards him. It has also been confirmed the club's intention to offer the manager a new contract after the end of the season.

Barcelona have seen ebbs and flows this campaign. The team was eliminated in the groups of the Champions League, and then it was removed in the playoffs and in the Europa League by Manchester United. Now the Catalans have finished their participation in the Copa del Rey as well, so the only trophy they can win is the title in Spain.

In La Liga, however, the "Blaugranas" are quite unappealing. They have a commanding 12-point lead over Real Madrid and must make a string of mistakes in the remaining rounds of the campaign to drop the title they already hold with one hand.
