Barca were hammered 4-1 by Madrid on Sunday and sit eight points off leaders Girona in the La Liga table.
They have conceded 22 goals at the halfway stage of the league season after shipping only 20 in the whole of the 2022-23 campaign.
“The day my players no longer follow me, I’ll pack my bags and leave,” Xavi told reporters.
“If I hadn’t won La Liga last year I wouldn’t be here.
“When someone tells me there’s a problem, I’ll leave.
“I love this club. I’m here to bring something to it. If I don’t do it, I’ll go home,” the former Barca captain added.
The 43-year-old returned to the Spanish champions in 2021 after a spell as Al Sadd boss with Barca in free fall.
On Thursday they face third-tier Unionistas in the last 16 of the Spanish Cup before playing Napoli in the first leg of the same stage in the Champions League in February.

FIERY CONFRONTATION: Sam Amadi Tears Into Top Leaders Over Their Attack On Peter Obi’s Respect For Zoning!
Abuja School of Social and Political Thought Director, Sam Amadi, has defended Peter Obi—the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC)—following backlash from prominent Southeast figures over his commitment to a single term.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Defense of Zoning: Amadi argued on that Obi is merely upholding rotational zoning for political stability, noting that if the South finishes its current turn and power shifts back to the North in 2031, any southern president would naturally only serve one term.

Critique of Igbo Leaders: Amadi criticized prominent leaders like former Imo Governor Emeka Ihedioha, Abia Governor Alex Otti, former Minister Osita Chidoka, and Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe for attacking Obi instead of stepping up to run for the presidency themselves to serve a full eight-year term.

Challenging the Critics: He questioned why these leaders failed to show presidential ambition earlier, emphasizing that Obi should not be criticized for keeping his promise to respect regional power rotation.
