adminBarcelona boss Luis Enrique confirmed that Xavi Hernandez will captain the side on his 505th and final La Liga appearance for the Catalans at home to Deportivo la Coruna on Saturday.The 35-year-old announced on Thursday that he will leave the club for Qatari side Al-Sadd after a 17-year playing career that has already seen him win 23 trophies at club level.
And he could yet leave with two more trophies as Barca face Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final in Xavi’s last ever match at the Camp Nou next weekend before meeting Juventus in the Champions League final on June 6.
“Xavi will start tomorrow,” Enrique told a press conference yesterday.
