Outgoing Barcelona manager Xavi could be replaced before the end of the season if defeat in Sunday's El Clasico follows their Champions League elimination, according to reports in Spain.
Xavi has remained adamant he will not reverse his decision to leave the club at the end of the campaign despite moves by the hierarchy to keep him in post.
However, following Tuesday night's 4-1 loss to PSG, which saw them crash out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage, the 44-year-old is reportedly now at risk of losing his position in the coming days.
According to Diario AS, defeat by Real Madrid, which would all but confirm their rivals as LaLiga champions, could lead to his immediate ouster and replacement by Barcelona B boss and former team-mate Rafael Marquez.
The report states that the club are not in a position financially to attract a more high-profile manager.
