Ghanaian captain Andre Ayew congratulated his former manager, Xavi, for leading Barcelona to victory in the La Liga title race. Barcelona secured their first league title in three years with a 4-2 win over rivals Espanyol, establishing a 14-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid. With only four matches remaining, it became mathematically impossible for Real Madrid to catch up.
Ayew, who played under Xavi at Al Sadd and achieved many successes, took to his Instagram Story to congratulate the former Spanish midfielder. He wrote, “Congratulations, boss Xavi. Once a champion, always a champion. You deserve this.”
Xavi expressed his belief that Barcelona is moving in the right direction after their recent triumph. He joyfully embraced the moment, stating, “It’s an incredible feeling, a sense of a job well done. This is crucial in providing stability to the club’s project. Winning the league title shows that we have been on the right path and must continue.”
Looking ahead, Xavi aims to lead Barcelona to success in European competitions next season following their disappointing exit from the UEFA Champions League group stage in the current campaign. He humbly added, “It’s not just Xavi’s league; it’s Barcelona’s league. It belongs to an evolving team embarking on a new era. The players have played a vital role, and I’m here to guide them. I would also like to express my gratitude to the president and the club, who have made tremendous efforts, and Mateu and Jordi, who have done an exceptional job.”
