“When the health services allow it, I will be very eager to return to my daily routine and to work. I’d like to thank all the authorities, especially those working in QSL (Qatar Stars League), QFA (Qatar Football Association) and Al-Sadd for supplying the means of early detection, reducing the spread of infection and that guarantees the normal development of the competition.

Take care and see you soon at the pitch, Xavi concluded.
