Xavi also heaped praise on Marcus Rashford, telling reporters: “Rashford is an exceptional footballer, in extraordinary form. He can make the difference for Manchester United. You need to be aware he’s there, but the team are more important than an individual player.”
There were even warm words for Raphael Varane and Casemiro, two former La Liga players he knows all too well: “I would say both are really important. Passion, and mentality, they are used to this kind of games. With this kind of players with experience, they are making the difference for the team.”
