Barcelona coach Xavi admits they couldn’t compete with Manchester City in the battle for Erling Haaland.
It was announced yesterday that Haaland would be leaving Borussia Dortmund for City at the end of the season.
Xavi had met with Haaland in Germany earlier this year and was asked about the deal after victory over Celta Vigo.
He said, “It’s what I said yesterday. I wish Haaland the best. We have not been able to compete for him.
“Impossible to compete economically. Wish him the best.”
Xavi also had praise for Ousmane Dembele: “Sometimes making a difference is not just scoring goals, but creating goals. Dembélé has made it 1-0 almost practically himself. In football not only does the goal make the difference and he marks it in assists.”
