Quotes
“A feeling of happiness on the one hand for all the objectives achieved, for the pace of play and the victory," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after their win over Mallorca.
"And on the other for two very emotional farewells of two legends [Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba] who deserved it. They are the best I have ever seen in their positions and we will miss them. They have been exemplary, their involvement has been spectacular.
"I’ve told them that they are lucky because not everyone can say goodbye to Camp Nou like that. I experienced it too, even more so because I left with a treble. To have people recognise your work is priceless.”

Barcelona beat Celta 1-0 in their last meeting in La Liga with the match taking place at the Spotify Camp Nou on 9 October 2022.
