Barcelona to bid farewell to Xavi with special kit…

JOE

Barcelona will wear special Xavi tribute shirts against Deportivo de La Coruña as the club legend prepares to play his last game at Camp Nou.

The 35-year-old has called time on his trophy-laden Barcelona career and will join Qatari team Al-Sadd in the summer.

However, the Catalan giants aren’t going to let Xavi leave without a fond farewell. The club have already released this moving video and will mark the midfielder’s final league game by wearing jerseys emblazoned with the message “6racies Xavi

Quick Catalan lesson: “Gracies” means “thank you”, while the 6 instead of the letter G of course relates to Xavi’s shirt number.

Excuse us, we just have something in our eye…
