Terrassa coach believes football should say enough and implement strong measures so that this type of situation does not continue to repeat itself. It's a shame these things happen in 2023.

There's no note or color of the club when it comes to this. It's about people, and we have to condemn every act like the one that happened in Mestalla with Winnicius,” said Xavi at a press conference, suggesting that the solution is to cut out the matches.

I think the matches should be interrupted. I'm working and it's agreed that people will swear in the world of football. It's time to stop all this, to say enough is enough.

If there's an insult, we don't play. I don't have to take any kind of offense on my work schedule. I've always thought about it and now that I'm Barca's coach I can say this. ”
Barca's coach believes this is an educational issue.

We have to educate people so they don't go to football to insult referee for example. It doesn't happen in other sports. In tennis, golf is held in respect for player”. Xavi, unlike Winicius, does not believe Spain is a racist country, but understands Real Madrid's reaction.

I don't think Spain or La League are racist, but there have been acts of racism, and that's what must be condemned. They say we have to be examples, but if they tell us everything, it's hard not to go back to them, that's what happens to Winnicius. He is a person, you must protect Winnicius before any club interest” completed Xavi.
