He does not believe there is 'an end of an era' at Barça

Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernández is convinced that there is no footballing crisis at the Catalan club. In fact, he says that he laughs whenever he hears of the so-called 'end of an era' at Barça. "It won't happen for a long time. It's very clear that all those people who enjoy talking about this end of an era aren't Barça fans," he said.

In that sense, the midfielder offered up a strange interpretation of the Champions League tie against Bayern Munich, which the Germans won 7-0 over two legs: “We enjoyed the bulk of the possession against Bayern, they couldn't control the game. To look only at the result doesn't really tell the whole story."

Regarding his own future, 33 year-old Xavi assured that he feels great and that he wants to continue 'causing trouble' for a few more years. "For a few years now, I've been hearing how I shouldn't play so many games," he said.
