BARCELONA boss Xavi hinted he will leave the Nou Camp at the end of the season if he doesn’t win a trophy.
The Barca legend led his beloved club to the LaLiga title in his first full campaign in charge despite persistent financial issues.
However, the Catalan giants suffered a humiliating 4-1 loss to Real Madrid in the Super Cup Final on Sunday.
And Barca have dropped to fourth place in LaLiga with eight points separating them and shock leaders Girona.
Xavi is still determined to win either the league or Copa del Rey and still holds out hope for the Champions League.
However, if the 43-year-old finishes the season empty handed he suggested he could leave in June – one year before his deal runs out.

Xavi said: “I’m embarrassed. This is not the type of match we should play, especially in a final, and against Madrid.
“As a Barça fan, I am destroyed. I’m sorry for the fanbase.
“We lacked everything. We have to accept criticism. We were not up to par. I want to apologise. Congrats to Real Madrid, a deserved win.
“We can’t start a final like this. We were horrible in the first ten minutes. We had a lot of expectations and motivation for the match. It’s a shame.”
