Xavi Affirms Commitment Amid Challenges: ‘If Objectives Aren’t Achieved, I Will Leave

In a press conference ahead of the game against Unionistas, Xavi asserted his dedication to Barcelona while acknowledging the need for tangible success this season. The coach emphasized the collective pursuit of significant titles—Copa del Rey, La Liga, or the Champions League. Xavi maintained transparency about the consequence of unmet objectives, declaring his readiness to take responsibility and step aside if required. Despite facing setbacks and criticisms, sources indicate unanimous support and trust from Barcelona players towards Xavi. However, the team’s performance on the field hasn’t mirrored this trust, with six losses this season, including two Clasicos, and a higher goal concession compared to the entire previous season. While challenges persist, Barcelona remains in contention across three competitions, with the Copa Del Rey presenting a crucial opportunity. The upcoming clash against Unionistas will play a pivotal role in shaping the team’s title aspirations.
