Three days before the Barcelona elections, Xavi Hernández is once again in the spotlight. The Catalan player started playing darts on Thursday via social networks. Following the many reactions to Laporta’s words last Monday that he had withdrawn from Messi’s contract, the former manager was frank and forceful in Spanish, Catalan and English. “In the face of the truth, always! With Barça in our hearts, always! Vizca El Barça! ??,” the former midfielder wrote. He also included a photo of himself celebrating a goal as a Barcelona player.

Xavi once again took center stage during the election campaign. On Monday, the former midfielder made headlines for his harsh words about Joan Laporta. “In the matter of Messi, the president is also not telling the truth. We signed Leo. In January 2023, after becoming world champion, we contacted him and he said he was excited to come back, so I saw that. We talked until March and I told him: I said, ‘If you give me the OK, I’ll tell the president.’ The president started the contract negotiations with Leo’s father and we got the green light from La Liga, but it was the president who threw everything back at me,” said the Catalan.
These statements have been at the center of election controversy ever since. Javier Tebas also appeared on the scene, stating that La Liga had never given the okay for the Argentine footballer’s surgery, and Mateu Alemany, Barcelona’s sporting director at the time, also expressed his opinion during a preview of the Champions League match, confirming that Xavi was right.
This Thursday, Catalans once again made their voices heard through social networks. Early in the afternoon, he sent a clear, direct and forceful message to those he accuses of lying. His text began with four verses of the Barça Hymn, which were by no means chosen at random. “Son molts anys plens d’afanys,son molts gols que hell cridat i s’ha Demonstrat que mai ningu no ens podr trcer” (They are full of years of hard work, many goals that we have shouted and have proven that no one can twist us).

Xavi Hernández has shown support for Victor Font in these elections. The former player did indeed attend the Catalan businessman’s candidacy presentation, and on February 28, he and his parents and partner visited the headquarters of the then-preliminary candidate and handed his signature to the presidential candidate.
