‘I want to thank him’ – Lamine Yamal grateful to Xavi after Barcelona win La Liga

Lamine Yamal make sure former boss Xavi Hernandez was not forgotten as Barcelona celebrated winning the double this season.

Hansi Flick is rightly gaining plenty of plaudits after bagging three domestic trophies in his first campaign in charge but Yamal says Xavi deserves some of the credit, too.

“We needed fresh air, a change, but it is true that we are very grateful to Xavi because without him this would not have happened,” he told Barca One.

“In the end, he has made many players debut for us, from here, I thank him.”

Yamal also says this is the start of something big as he eyes adding more trophies to his collection with the Catalans.

“I want to tell the culés that this has only just begun,” he told ESPN.

“It’s impossible to get tired of winning. That’s something I have permanently in mind.”

Barcelona’s big aim next season will surely be winning the Champions League, but for now let’s just enjoy what’s been a superb campaign by Flick and his men.
