Xavi to be sacked by Barcelona?!

Xavi could be sacked by Barcelona as president Joan Laporta is miffed with some of his recent statements to the media.

Just 23 days ago, Laporta and Xavi held a joint press conference where it was announced that the manager would honour his contract at Camp Nou. However, Xavi's comments to the press before facing Almeria have seemingly not gone down well with the club's hierarchy, which has put his position at risk, according to RAC1.

When asked if Barcelona could compete for major silverware with their current squad, Xavi responded with noticeable scepticism. “We are going to try to compete against Madrid. I think that the cule' situation is very difficult," he had said.

"Above all, we have an economic situation that has nothing to do with 25 years ago, we can no longer go out and pick and say ‘I want this one, this one, and that one’".
