Defender Gerard Pique is getting back to work at Barcelona in bid to prove boss Xavi wrong ahead of the new season.
The Spanish international was told he had no future at the club two weeks ago due to his unprofessional conduct off the field and his deteriorating physical condition.
Xavi told Pique - who is reportedly among the highest earners at Barcelona - that he was no longer part of his plans and that he could leave the Nou Camp this summer despite remaining in contract until 2024.
The 35-year-old has, however, has disregarded Xavi's comments and vowed to work harder to prove the Barcelona manager wrong.
