After a few disappointing weeks, which included the elimination from the Champions League by PSG, and a loss to Real Madrid in El Clasico, Barcelona fans were finally given something to cheer about. Last night, it was revealed that Xavi will remain at his position as the team’s manager, making U-turn on his decision from earlier in the season. After a crucial meeting that extended late into the night, club president Joan Laporta successfully convinced Xavi to continue leading the team, demonstrating the club’s faith in his vision for the future.
