Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández announced that he will leave the club on June 30. Xavi had already made the decision to leave a month ago.

The Barca board observed strange movements in the staff after the match against Villarreal. The locker room found out about the news from the press. “If the team didn't perform before, why it is going to perform now? Xavi asked himself on Saturday night,” says one of the players.
