Xavi on Barcelona: We’ve saved a season that could have been worse

Xavi Hernandez has admitted he’s pleased to have saved Barcelona’s season from disaster after seeing his side draw with Getafe on Sunday to secure second place.

The Catalan giants were down in ninth place when Xavi arrived to take over from Ronald Koeman who had endured a poor start to the campaign.

Barca have improved markedly under their new coach and Xavi is happy to have achieved his objectives for the 2021-22 campaign.

“We have saved a season that could have been worse. We have achieved our objectives, in November we all would have signed on to finish like this,” he said.
