Xavi 'happy' as Barcelona qualify for Supercopa with Getafe draw & 'wanted to win a few trophies'
#Xavi admitted that he 'wanted to win a few trophies,' when he returned to Barcelona as manager earlier in the season, but insisted that finishing second in La Liga was still an achievement given their poor season. He replaced Ronald Koeman in January, his arrival coinciding in an upturn of fortunes, but the results are still stark - dropping from the Champions League to the Europa League and then not coming close to winning the latter. Speaking after a lacklustre goalless draw in their penlutimate match of the season, Xavi admitted that there was much to do in the close season, including 'economically' if they are to rebuild swiftly.
