According to Nasser Al-Attiyah, a member of the Emir of Qatar's family, the president of FC Barcelona was right to bet on the former captain of the Blaugrana club. Since the start of the season, FC Barcelona is living a real nightmare. While chaining bad results, the Catalan club were eliminated from the Champions League and are far too behind in Liga to hope to win the title this season. To redress the bar and avoid catastrophe, Joan Laporta decided to part ways with Ronald Koeman and to appoint Xavi in his place. A choice fully validated by Nasser Al-Attiyah, member of the family of the Emir of Qatar, the owner of PSG. “We are happy that Xavi has come to Barça” “We are happy that Xavi has come to Barça. He worked in my club, Al-Saad. I would highlight his personality. He did a lot of things for Al-Sadd. We won everything and it was amazing. We understand that he went to Barca and I think he will solve the problems for the Blaugrana club. I have an excellent relationship with him, ”said Nasser Al-Attiyah in an interview with Mundo Deportivo. Skip back to main navigation
