Barcelona vice-president Carles Vilarrubí insists they do not rely on the presence of Pep Guardiola for their continued success. Guardiola's current deal runs out in June and new contract talks are yet to kickoff.

"The continuity of Guardiola is independent of our sporting success. I think our future is not determined by his successes," said Villarrubi.

"If we keep doing what we are, I am sure that Guardiola will continue."
