"This defeat doesn't change anything; Xavi still has our confidence," revealed, with some discomfort ("this question doesn't make any sense"), sporting director Deco minutes after the Super Cup debacle. Similarly, sources at the club consulted by ESPN agreed that the coach's job is not in danger: "There is still a long season ahead and this is no time for doubts".

This is not the first time that the club has put the brakes on speculation about the coach. In November, after the defeat in Hamburg against Shakhtar, they were quick to express a confidence that was publicly and emphatically expressed a few days later by Joan Laporta.

Goodbye Cancelo

Although Xavi is supposed to be safe in his position, rumors have been swirling about a possible return of Pep Guardiola when his contract with Manchester City expires alluding to his love for the Spanish club. But the first player who would have to leave would be Joao Cancelo due to his bad relationship with the coach that cost him his departure from England.
