In a selfless gesture, Xavi aided a non-government charity in the bid to help the growing refugee crisis in Europe.
Not only a star on the pitch but also off it, Barcelona great Xavi has donated his personal yacht to charity in a bid to aid refugees travelling across the Mediterranean Sea.
Xavi – now plying his trade with Al Sadd in Qatar – handed over the vessel to non-government charity organisation Proactiva Open Arms, which will be auctioned off to raise funds to help the POA continue its rescue work.
The POA from Barcelona, Spain works along the Greek coast in Lesvos, covering 17 kilometers by land and sea as the organization assists those seeking refuge across the Mediterranean.
