Former Barcelona winger Bolo Zenden insists Xavi is the right man in charge.

Barca have stumbled in the LaLiga and the Champions League in recent weeks.

Zenden told AS: “At the top is still where they want to be, we also know that any competition isn't a sprint, it's a marathon and there are a lot of games to play. Obviously, the big games are the ones against Real Madrid.

"They looked like they were going to win it and of course Bellingham made the difference for Real Madrid. But all in all, it still looks rather OK.

“I think Xavi has done a great job, a massive job. When he came in, the club was still in a lot of turmoil, problems with players, with court cases at the top. The thing that I say is, if the roof leaks, then in the end, the water comes down to the dressing room.

"I think he's done a massive job keeping the ship on track, when there was such a storm going on around the club."
