One of the most pleasantly surprising stories of the week in Barcelona land was the meeting between former coach and legendary midfielder Xavi Hernández and current boss Hansi Flick, who met in Xavi’s house a few days ago.
Xavi himself revealed the meeting with a post on social media, wishing Flick the best of luck in a very classy move. Hansi was naturally asked about the meeting in a press conference on Saturday, and spoke of his previous relationship with Xavi going back to his time as Germany’s national team coach.
Flick also revealed he contacted Xavi to set up the meeting after the tribute to Andrés Iniesta’s retirement, but naturally chose to keep the content of their conversation private.
