Barcelona president Joan Laporta says Xavi has his total confidence.

Laporta insists the coach's position is not in doubt.

He told EFE: "He has all our trust and he deserves it. When you give a person confidence, they give their best. The confidence we have in Xavi is total. Apart from his knowledge, he is a great coach, but he also has the virtue that he is a resistant person, who protects the players, which says a lot in Xavi's favor.

"He has also had to overcome a lot of adversity this season due to injuries and he is overcoming it. In his post-match analysis he is magnificent, I tell him this when I hear one of his press conferences.

"My relationship with Xavi is very good, it is normal because he is our coach. We also have a history together, which makes our relationship very good.

"Xavi is doing very well, and he is a person with enormous resilience. The team has gone from strength to strength, in general. Last year we won the League and the Super Cup and this year we aspire to win more titles, I think we can repeat last year and achieve something more, if our injuries are respected and everything progresses as we hope."
