"This squad should be winning," he said. "Otherwise, we have to look at the circumstances and have a meeting at the end of year to understand what happened. But I prefer to be optimistic.
"We back Rafa. He's the right manager. Rafa's rotation has been his policy for three years. Rafa's ability to coach and manage in the Champions League should be unquestioned.
"We can never assume that we can go all the way every year, but we should win the next two at home, then we have what is a vital game against Marseille. But you don't give Rafa guidance, no one wants to win more than him."
