Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu has rubbished reports of coach Quique Setien being on the verge of the sack.

It's been claimed victory over Villarreal saved Setien from the axe.

But Bartomeu insisted: "I know there are rumours. It's wrong.

"Victory did not save him. He is doing a good job. He has our complete confidence."

Bartomeu's comments arrive as Xavi, who has been linked with Setien's job, extended his deal with Al Sadd to 2021.
