  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Xavi took over as Barca coach two years ago and guided the club to Spanish Super Cup success before they won La Liga last season.

  The Spanish champions are off to a good start this term, having won four and drawn one of their first five league matches, though they already trail Real Madrid by two points. The Catalan club also opened their Champions League campaign with a 5-0 win against Royal Antwerp this week.

• WHAT THEY SAID

  The 43-year-old agreed to extend his stay at the club earlier this month, it was reported in Spain, and he confirmed last week that the signing would be announced imminently.

  "I am happy at Barça, the project is continuing. My contract renewal will be announced in a few days," he said.
