He said :

   "I'd like to announce that I'm leaving Barca after this season," Xavi said. "It's going to be tough for me not wearing the Barca shirt.I had a very good offer to renew with Barca -- but I didn't even tell my mother about it. I think the Qatar project is nice, and it's ideal for me.In the future, I'd like to come back to Barca. They will continue to be great without me.

I'm a Barca product. I think I've performed very well -- I've done what I was taught. I'm very happy. I couldn't have had a better career.

What haven't I done? Scored a hat-trick or a bicycle kick... but I still have some time!

The player had won 8 la Liga cup, three champions league, 12 other club cups, 2 euro championship and 1 world cup
