After the slap received by FC Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid (4-1), the sporting director of the Blaugrana, Deco, took stock of Xavi’s situation.
It’s a humiliation that could leave its mark… In the final of the Spanish Super Cup, Sunday evening in Saudi Arabia, FC Barcelona lost heavily (4-1) against its historic rival, Real Madrid. A disappointment which raises questions around Xavi’s future at the head of the Camp Nou residents.
After the meeting, Barça’s sporting director, Deco, defended his coach, reinforcing him in his position. “A danger for Xavi’s future? This question makes no sense. The coach continues to have the confidence of the president and the sports management, this defeat changes nothing”assured the Lusitanian leader at the microphone of Movistar +.
“We showed one of the worst faces of the season”
However, Xavi suffered the blow at the final whistle. “Defensively, we didn’t stop their runs, we didn’t make any tactical mistakes and their first two goals came from actions behind our backs. They hurt us. The high pressing was not good. It’s a difficult defeat to take, we’re upset. We showed one of the worst faces of the season. We will have to improve enormously to win titles. We must ask the supporters for forgiveness. This is not the image of Barça in the final, and even less against Real. »
