Currently on tour in the United States, Barca will face Juventus next night. The traditional pre-match press conference therefore took place that night, allowing Xavi to discuss important topics, but also Robert Lewandowski to hold his first pre-match press conference in Catalan colors.
Xavi first spoke and the Spanish coach was obviously expected on the subject of the transfer window. Preferring to remain cautious on current issues, Xavi took care to kick into touch by evoking the announced imminent arrival of Jules Koundé, the French international from Seville.
“The club is working to strengthen the squad. I can not say more. If something needs to be made official, we will say so”
Xavi who also could not escape a question on one of the big topics of the moment around Barça: the great return of Lionel Messi, who would be in his plans for the summer of 2023. Again, Xavi preferred to take his distance from the subject, hiding behind Messi’s contract with PSG.
“It makes no sense to talk about Leo Messi returning to Barcelona at the moment, he’s under contract with PSG so it’s impossible. We will see in the future. The president has already said he hopes it’s not the end of Messi at Barca yet. »
Lewandowski didn’t talk about the 8-2…
For his part, Robert Lewandowski spoke about his integration into his new club while responding to a sensitive subject. No one in Barcelona has forgotten the 8-2 humiliation inflicted by Bayern Munich in the Champions League during the August 2020 Final 8. A subject that the Polish striker has obviously been careful not to mention in his new locker room. ..
“I felt very good from the first moment, I’m very happy. Everyone made me feel very welcome. I feel very happy. I will try to score a lot of goals, but the most important thing is to help the team win games. I didn’t score a number of goals. The 8-2? (laughs) We didn’t talk about that in the locker room…”
