Live broadcast on May 29 "World Sports" revealed the inside story of Xavi's class, saying that he was fired because his purge list was leaked. Journalist Ramon Salmurri followed up on Radio Catalan, and the purge list annoyed the Barça dressing room.

It happened after the 3-0 home game at home to Rayo Vallecano on May 19, when Xavi and the coaching staff asked why, when they entered the dressing room and saw a lot of players with cold expressions. The players said they were informed of the list of departures and possible departures discussed between Xavi and the hierarchy.

The players who were included in the departure list asked the coach for an explanation, and the atmosphere in the dressing room was tense, Xavi said he hoped they would not listen to rumours, saying that he had always been honest with his players, that this would not change, and that he would tell them when he needed to convey anything. Xavi also cited the example of Pique and Alba, as they were also friends privately, so he could have been very honest with them at the time to offer them the option to retire, albeit a painful decision.

The most angry player was Araujo, who found his name with a question mark on the list of departures that had been reported. Xavi had to explain to him that his contract renewal has been made a priority. But the club told Araujo that they would have to accept an offer of more than €90 million. Xavi's understanding is that if Araujo is allowed to transfer, it will give him access to funds that can strengthen the team.
