THIS CANNOT BE!: Barcelona chiefs Laporta, Deco had Girona meltdown with Xavi targeted

Barcelona president Joan Laporta and sports director Deco were furious after their defeat at Girona.

As soon as the match ended, the monumental anger of president Joan Laporta was revealed, who repeated on several occasions in the Montilivi box, “This cannot be!"

It was not the only expression of annoyance that he uttered, since according to journalist Laia Tudel, host of the 'Barça Reservat' podcast on Catalunya Ràdio, several witnesses heard the Blaugrana leader address his companions in the box, challenging them: “And now what do we do?"

But it didn't end here. A few metres away was sports director Deco. And, as journalist Bernat Soler revealed on the same program, Deco was as or more expressive than the president in his complaints.

In fact, according to several witnesses, his most furious criticism was not for the team, but directly for coach Xavi.
