“It is a good moment. Since January I have been enjoying it a lot, before I suffered more”, admits Xavi Hernández, calmer and more optimistic after Barca’s victory at the Camp Nou against Betis. The Blaugrana stadium, which is slowly saying goodbye to the season and preparing to close for at least one course, will host Osasuna, Copa del Rey finalist, this Tuesday. “This Saturday they have possibly the most important game in their history against Real Madrid”, said Xavi who responded with a what do you think? when they asked him who he prefers to win the Cup.

Beyond what happens in La Cartuja, the coach is already beginning to defoliate the daisy to see when his team will win the League. In the event that Xavi’s men beat Osasuna and if Real Madrid draw or lose in Anoeta against Real Sociedad, the Blaugrana could win the title in Cornellà against Espanyol who is playing for permanence. “I would like to win it as soon as possible, I am very excited, the club needs it, the team, the staff, the players… and if it fits in Cornellà we cannot choose”, stressed the Barcelona coach.

Beyond the titles, Xavi, who is already planning the coming season, also has another mission for his players. “It is important that we finish with a good feeling. We are a block, a team. A family. We are above individualities but we have to improve. Even if we win the League, the games that remain will be important”, warned the coach who is very clear about his model to follow. “Manchester City is the best team in the world. It is football that is a mirror for us. They also have to the best coach in the world. It would be fair for him to win the treble”, he pointed out.

Xavi repeats the same list of summoned that he made against Betis, which of course includes Lamine Yamal, who made his debut against Betis to become the youngest player to step on the green at the Camp Nou. “He is a calm person. We will know how to manage his 15 years with elite football. The idea is that he is with us and that he can participate because he has the conditions, ”he said of the extreme that in July, when he turns 16, he will sign his first contract as a professional. “The situation is under control. Especially when you talk to him, his mind is set on Barça, he wants to succeed here and he doesn’t think of anything else, that’s why I’m calm, because he wants to be here”, outlined the cadet’s future coach sophomore
