We may need to have a word with some of the fans.

Barcelona legend and all round pass-master Xavi made his debut for Al-Sadd in Qatar, but it was a far cry from what the former World Cup winner would have been used to in his La Liga days. With the number of top-class players heading to the Middle East, we'd have thought there would be thousands of fans looking to see if the legendary midfielder still 'had-it' in terms of controlling a game and passing his way to glory. Unfortunately about four men and a dog turned up to the game, by the looks of things. There were a number of fans on the other side, but when we say a number, we mean about six or so. It's a real shame more people weren't around to see Xavi show he is still deadly from free-kicks,  laying on this assist for Lee Jung-Soo as Al-Sadd won 4-0. https://twitter.com/whatahowler/status/643088503602024449
