“I have said it many times, that I consider Barcelona to be my home and my life,” he said as quoted by IANS.
“I am learning a lot here in Qatar and although saying I want to coach Barca is a big statement and you have to be properly prepared in order to do so, it is a process and I hope one day to get there,” commented Xavi.
Currently, almost all sporting activity stands suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic which has infected over 19,00,000 people worldwide and claimed over 1,20,000 lives.
