Xavi was dismissed due to unsatisfactory results and the inability to meet the objectives set at the beginning of the season. Additionally, tensions in the locker room between some key players, like Gündogan and Araújo, created an atmosphere of uncertainty that needed a prompt solution. It was then that Joan Laporta and Deco, with a clear and firm vision, decided to act to return Barça to its rightful place.

The meetings between Joan Laporta and Deco were key to making decisions that would change the course of the season.
