Barcelona president Joan Laporta gave his full backing to coach Xavi Hernandez after their embarrassing Champions League exit on Wednesday night.
The Catalan giants crashed to a humiliating three-goal defeat at home to Bayern Munich after their elimination from the group stage had already been confirmed, even though there is still one round of matches remaining.
Goals from Sadio Mane, Erick Choupo-Moting and Benjamin Pavard condemned Barca to another demoralising loss against the German champions. It was the second successive season that Bayern had not only won by three goals at the Camp Nou but had done so without conceding a shot on target.
