Xavi insists he is maintaining his high standards with Al-Sadd, with the former Barcelona captain loving life in Qatar.
Former Barcelona midfielder Xavi claims he is enjoying football "more than ever" after notching an assist in his Al-Sadd debut.
Xavi played his first match in the Qatar Stars League on Sunday, with the veteran's 12th-minute free kick picking out Lee Jung-soo, who headed Al-Sadd in front on the way to a 4-0 victory over Al-Mesaimeer.
It was Xavi's first professional appearance for any club aside from Barcelona, and the 35-year-old told Marca he loves the new chapter of his life.
