Ghana’s captain, Andre Ayew, took the opportunity to congratulate former manager Xavi Hernandez on Barcelona’s successful capture of the 2022/23 LaLiga title.
Barcelona, under Xavi’s leadership, secured the Spanish championship with a 4-2 victory over their city rivals, Espanyol, on Sunday. The triumph highlighted their dominance in the top-flight competition, as they clinched the title with four games still to play in the season.
Having assumed the role of Barcelona manager in January 2021, Xavi guided the team to their 27th league title and their first since 2019 in his first full season in charge.
Ayew, who previously worked with Xavi at Al Sadd in Qatar, expressed his admiration for his former boss and acknowledged his remarkable accomplishment on Instagram.
The Ghanaian footballer holds great respect for the Spanish legend, and their successful partnership resulted in winning the Qatari league together.
In his Instagram post, Ayew wrote, “Congratulations, boss Xavi. Once a champion, always a champion.”
