Barcelona coach Xavi: Luis Enrique to replace me?

Barcelona coach Xavi has refused to discuss the prospect of Luis Enrique succeeding him.

The PSG coach has been linked with a return to Barca as they seek to replace Xavi when he steps down at the end of the season.

But he said: "I will not talk about coaches for the next season. We are facing an important match to connect to LaLiga. We have to concentrate, Mallorca is doing things well: they have beaten Girona, they are in the Cup final after beating Real Sociedad...

"Coaching Barça is maximum pressure. Maximum pressure, daily. Ancelotti already said that he didn't suffer and he enjoyed it.

"You feel a lot of pressure. It's normal, it's Barça."
