Carles Puyol is loving Xavi’s work at Barcelona

Barcelona legend Carles Puyol was happy to offer his thoughts on Xavi’s team after Thursday’s impressive 4-2 win over Napoli in Italy.

The Catalans put in a superb performance at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium to progress to the last 16 of the Europa League 5-3 on aggregate.

Puyol let slip on Twitter after the game that he’d had a little bet when Xavi took over Barcelona and is really liking what he’s seeing from the Catalans.

“When Barça hired Xavi, I said we would win the league, I bet a dinner, I don’t know if I’ll pay for it, but what I know for sure is that I like this team.
