Xavi Hernández, the current Barcelona coach, recently spoke out about his future with the team amidst a wave of criticism following their Copa del Rey quarterfinal exit. The 44-year-old led Barça to their first LaLiga title since 2019 last year but has faced difficulties this season, including a recent defeat in the Spanish Supercopa final and the midweek Copa elimination. Xavi's comments provide insight into his mindset and his outlook on the situation.
Addressing the media ahead of Barcelona's LaLiga game against Villarreal, Xavi expressed his calmness amidst the speculation surrounding his future. He highlighted the disparity between his reality and that of the media, stating, 'I live in a different reality to you. I know the club. I have been at the club for a long time, luckily or not.' Despite the noise and pressure, Xavi seems undeterred, feeling that the focus could have shifted had they advanced past Athletic Club in the Copa.
