A decision which was strongly criticized by Catalan fans, but also other football players. Quique Sánchez Flores, the Sevilla coach, criticized the Catalan leader’s decision. “Xavi is a coach who knows the club well. He’s been through a lot as a player and has done a good job as a coach. I kiss him and we talk. We communicate a lot. I shouldn’t say this, but Barcelona treat their legends badly. What a bad time with Koeman, with Messi and with Xavi now. I would like clubs to promote their legends. It still adds up”, he explained to the press. Xavi will appreciate it.
