Barcelona president Joan Laporta has said he has “complete confidence” in Xavi and is expecting a good result against Porto on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Xavi is facing a bit of scrutiny after a series of poor performances and results from his team both at home and in Europe.
Yet Laporta has given his coach his full backing and thinks he can turn things around, particularly now Pedri and Frenkie de Jong are available again.
“We close ranks with the coach and his coaching staff. For us it is a pride to have a coach like Xavi, we have always said it,” he told TV3.
