Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez commented on his team's match against Deportivo Alaves in the 23rd round of the Spanish League, revealing the reasons for his decision to leave the Catalan club.

Xavi spoke in his press conference for the match: “We have to win three points against a difficult competitor at home. There are 16 matches remaining. I want us to take a dangerous step forward together. We beat them at home difficultly in the last match.”
He added: "Lewandowski always works to help the team, and he offers a lot in front of goal. Of course, with age, the scoring spark decreases, but he is playing smarter and we have to help him more.

He concluded his speech: "I will leave because it has been two and a half years, and this is the best choice for the team. It is not related to fatigue or mental health. I am very fine. No one knows the club better than me and this decision is the best for the club.
