Xavi spotted playing football again 14 days after Barca sacked him

Xavi has made a comeback to football!

The former Barca boss featured in a re-creation of the U20 World Cup final Spain won 25 years ago.

He’s even wearing the national team’s shorts here!

Another prominent name to make Spain’s eleven was Valencia legend Carlos Marchena.

Xavi is seemingly enjoying his sabbatical. The Barca icon was sacked only two weeks ago, but he doesn’t plan to resume coaching until at least next year.

Xavi spotted in public for first time since Barca dismissal – what he said to media

La Masia gem suddenly broke into the starting XI of Barcelona – and became one of the team’s biggest stars.

– Youngest Champions League quarter finalist

– Youngest player to make 50 appearances for Barça

…and that’s without counting his records for Spain – youngest ever debutant, youngest scorer and more!

Just imaging the number of records he will set and the Euro 2024!
