FC Barcelona after 10 years of disappointment still did not break the fatal run and did not advance to the Champions League final. Hansi Flick's footballers lost this chance practically in the last rematch of the meeting with Inter. When it seemed that this Catalan club would win a promotion, suddenly 37-year-old Francesco Acerbi perfectly found in the penalty field in the penalty area and led to a draw. The fans watched the extra time, in which the only hit was recorded by Davide Frattesi.
Xavi surprised with a confession about Lewandowski. Touching words
– openly approaches players and puts great emphasis on physics. This can help the team in difficult moments of the season or a single match. Hansi's teams were always at the highest level. I am happy to work again. I think that we have a great season ahead of us, which we will crown with winning trophies – said Robert Lewandowski before the start of the competition. Fans could feel that it was Szpilka towards Xavi, although the trainer always pointed out that their relationships are very good.
If that was not enough, the 45-year-old's daughter also admires our player. – My son loves Laminee Yamal and Pedri. Our daughter is nine years old. She loves Lewandowski and Raphinha. We are a family of Barcelona. We watch all matches of both male and female teams. Children collect stickers of both bands – he explained in an interview with The New York Times.
This season FC Barcelona has reached for the Spanish Super Cup and the King's Cup. And although it will not be possible to win the champions league title, it can still regain the national championship. Four queues left until the end of the competition, and Hansi Flick's players have four points advantage over Real Madrid.
– We are glad that Barca is doing so well. Many people think that I am not happy with it, because I am gone there. I am very happy that the team and the coach himself are doing well – he concluded.
So far, Xavi has not returned to work since he parted with FC Barcelona last year. Allegedly had a lot of offers from the Middle East, but he counts on a proposal from the Premier League. – I want to go back to training again. I count on an ambitious project – he said in an interview with The Athletic.
