"He allowed himself to be used". Laporta responds to Xavi’s accusations

Barcelona legend and former head coach Xavi accused Laporta of being responsible for Lionel Messi not extending his contract. Now the presidential candidate has responded to him.

Details: According to Joan Laporta, when he hears such statements from Xavi, he thinks about Hansi Flick and how difficult it is to be the president of Barcelona. He did everything he was supposed to do.

Quote: "When I hear these statements from Xavi, I think about Hansi Flick and about how difficult it is to be the president of Barça. The facts give me confidence that I did what I had to do.

I understand that he is hurt, because with the same players Xavi had — the ones he was losing with — Flick is winning. It hurts me that he allowed himself to be used," Laporta said.

Xavi also stated that Messi will not return to Camp Nou because Joan Laporta does not want it, not because of La Liga.

Reminder: Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick used the opportunity during the post-match press conference after the clash with Athletic Bilbao to clarify the situation surrounding his most discussed tactical feature.
