FC Barcelona lost 4-2 this Sunday against Girona, and left Xavi teetering on a tightrope. Girona are the revelation team of the La Liga and in this way lost the chance to get into the fight for first place in the standings. This defeat, the third in the season has called into question the coach's continuity at the head of the squad and the board of directors would already have a possible replacement.

The one targeted by the leadership would be a man of the house, who knows the club like the back of his hand and is currently directing Barça “B” in the third division of Spanish football. We are talking about Rafa Márquez, the historic Mexican defender who left an indelible mark on the Blaugrana team between 2003 and 2010.

Rafa Marquez is a coach of the Barcelona academy. The person in charge of revealing this information was Carles Fité, one of the journalists who closely follows the current affairs of the Culés, who in his intervention in El Chiriniguito has been very clear regarding the future of Xavi and Rafa Márquez himself: "if "Laporta fires Xavi, his replacement would be Rafa Márquez."
