Girona standout midfielder Aleix García has been a key to the Catalan club’s exceptional start to the season, and he caused a bit of a stir this week when he admitted he wants to play for Barcelona just days before traveling to the Montjuïc Olympic Stadium to face Barça in a massive La Liga clash on Sunday.
García’s words did not go down too well with his manager, but the current manager of Aleix’s potential future team is a fan. Xavi Hernández was asked about the Spanish international’s quotes and said in his pre-match press conference that he likes Aleix and thinks he’s good enough to be a Blaugrana.
