Xavi talks Rubiales, Pedri’s injury, Abde’s future and Barcelona right-backs

Barcelona coach Xavi has been talking to reporters ahead of his team’s clash with Villarreal on Sunday in La Liga.

The manager spoke out against Luis Rubiales, offered an update on Pedri’s injury as well as Barca’s plans to bring in a new right-back.

Here are the best bits:

Xavi on Rubiales

Firstly, I want to give my unconditional support to Jenni Hermoso and the players. I condemn the behaviour of the president of the Spanish Football Federation. And I regret that people aren’t talking about the historic achievement of winning the World Cup

Xavi on Rubiales again

The pity is that we do not talk about Alexia, Aitana, Cata Coll or their barriers to being world champions.
