Barcelona will return to the top next season below Xavi Hernandez according to the former captain Sergio Busquets.
Xavi and Busquets have enjoyed stellar playing careers together at the heart of Barcelona and Spain's midfields for over a decade.
Busquets captained Xavi's team at the The league the title last season before choosing to leave on a free transfer for MLS side Inter Miami.
The veteran star remains a respected voice for Barcelona fans, as the third highest appearance maker in the club's history, with Xavi in second.
Busquets was asked about his opinion on Xavi's decision to stay on as Barcelona boss next season after initially opting to resign.
“I'm very happy about it, if it's what he and the club want. I hope it comes with results, which is the most important thing,” as reported by DAZN, via The sports world.
“This year was not to be, but I have a lot of optimism for next season.”
Barcelona have four games remaining in the final weeks of the 2023/24 season and face a battle for review Gerona in second place.
Girona currently have a one-point lead over their Catalan neighbors with Barcelona only finishing outside the top two on one occasion since 2008.
