Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reaffirmed the board’s support for coach Xavi.
All eyes are firmly set on winning the league title and the president found time to praise the team after a tough win over Osasuna during the week.
“In Pamplona, the team showed that they have the makings of a champion, that they have the character to overcome adversity and that they want to win this league,” he told Sport.
“[Champions League elimination] was a hard blow, but the objective is LaLiga Santander and we want to continue on the right track.
“We are doing very well. We can fight for the title.”
Laporta also praised Xavi and affirmed that never had doubts over the coach.
“I can assure you that we are very proud of the coach we have,” Laporta said.
“He is a coach who knows the club very well, who knows what things are like. In addition, he knows how to share what can be improved.”
