However, the management has been successful in keeping the head coach as they feel the former World Champion is the perfect man for the club. However, the financial problems have been a question for the Blaugranes for several years now. Irrespective of the signings they have made in the last two windows.

The Blaugranes lost in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain with six games left Xavi's side will look to finish the campaign in a high note.
