FC Barcelona have not enjoyed the best of results since the start of the season, and the optimism that was present at the club after the arrival of players like Gundogan, Martinez, Felix, and Cancelo has subsided to a significant extent at this point in time.
However, the two bigwigs at the Catalan club, President Joan Laporta and head coach Xavi Hernandez, are still highly optimistic about their team’s chances to bring silverware to the club.
The two individuals are always optimistic, as they have shown during previous difficult periods at the club, and always see things in a positive light, even when everything seems to be failing.
In fact, as Diario AS has reported, the optimism of these two leaders is so great that they believe that they will still be able to win at least two titles this season.
Firstly, the duo sees the upcoming Spanish Super Cup as a tournament that will not only bring the first piece of silverware to the club but also an event that will overturn the team’s fortunes.
As happened last year, Barcelona’s 3-2 win over Real Madrid boosted the team’s morale, which ultimately allowed them to win La Liga as well.
Thus, Xavi and Laporta are taking inspiration from the last season, and are seeing the Spanish Super Cup as a competition that Barcelona must win at all costs.
In addition to the Super Cup, the President and the head coach also want another title, and are convinced that last year’s feat can be repeated this year to win another La Liga title.
However, the team’s situation is much more complicated this season, as they were the leaders on the league table at this point last season, but trail the leaders Real Madrid by seven points this time.
The two will also receive the Copa del Rey title very well and have also not ruled out winning even the Champions League.
However, Xavi has been more cautious about the team’s chances in the premier European competition than Laporta and will be satisfied even if the team goes through some rounds without humiliation.
Still, if Xavi is unable to win any of these titles by the end of the season, his time at the Catalan club will almost surely be over.
