The day after the announcement of his departure from Barça at the end of the season, Xavi gave a strong speech to his players and some had tears in their eyes, like Robert Lewandowski
It’s a real psychodrama that has hit FC Barcelona for a few hours, while the Blaugranas’ season is very disappointing, both in the game and in the La Liga standings. In the wake of the defeat against Villarreal (3-5), Saturday evening in Monjuïc, Xavi, completely disillusioned, announced to the press that he would leave at the end of the season.
The reigning Spanish champion coach brought his players together to explain his choice to them during Sunday’s session, in particular to tell them to give their all for the rest of the season. According to Radio Catalyuna, Joao Cancelo and Robert Lewandowski were very touched by the words used by the former midfielder. They cried.
FCB now finds itself eleven and ten points behind Girona and Real Madrid, the first two in the standings. In the Champions League, they will already try to overcome the Neapolitan obstacle in the round of 16 (first leg on February 21).
