The manager further told, “He’s still a winner, he’s a leader and he’s different. At Barcelona, we’ve not had the same level since what we reached as a pinnacle in 2010.”
In the interview, Xavi told what Messi could bring if he returned to the club, “Messi brings you the talent of being able to play in the final pass, he opens doors, scores goals. In the final third, he can provide the difference.”
