Laporta: 'Xavi Brought Enthusiasm And Hope To Barcelona'

"Xavi has brought enthusiasm and hope," Joan Laporta said.

"[H]is ways of training and the rules he has set have been well received by the club and the players.

"[W]e are eager to show that Barça is a Champions League team, we hope to win in Munich."

Xavi has certainly improved Barcelona's fortunes after taking over at the club in early November.

The Catalans have won two games and drawn one under the 41-year-old.

Barca travel to Bayern on December 8 in a crucial Champions League clash. They need three points to guarantee progression to the knockout stages.
