Xavi made his Qatari league debut in front of a tiny crowd (Vine)

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.

Xavi did provide a lovely free kick assist for Lee Jung-Soo on his Al-Sadd debut: http://t.co/vux6WIpouS. — Howler Magazine (@whatahowler) September 13, 2015
