‘Means everything’ – Xavi Espart sends heartfelt message to Hansi Flick after Barcelona debut
Barcelona defender Xavi Espart has sent out a heartfelt message to Hansi Flick after making his debut for the first team in midweek against Newcastle in the Champions League.
Flick has likened Espart to Germany legend Philipp Lahm and sent him on at St James’ Park for his first taste of senior football.
Espart says having the coach’s trust means absolutely everything to him.
“I really wanted this, but it doesn’t end here. I have to keep working and hopefully more chances will come,” he told the club’s media.
“For a young player like me, the coach trusting me means everything. I’m really grateful to him. The fact that he trusts me helps me stay calm and not feel so much pressure. He doesn’t ask anything special from me, just to play the way I know how to play, not to put pressure on myself.
Xavi Espart: 'Dream come true to make debut'
Another La Masia player makes his debut. On March 10, 2026, Xavi Espart got his first few minutes as an FC Barcelona player in the Champions League, coming on for Araujo towards the end of the match against Newcastle United. The young player showed assurance and adaptability as he helped see the game through as the late penalty by Lamine Yamal levelled the tie.
After his debut and as is the tradition at Barça, Xavi Espart has had his photo taken with the La Masia sign, and he shared his early impressions with the Club's media. The full-back acknowledged that making his first team debut in the Champions League was "a dream". He's now been able to reflect a little on how he felt that day, stating "I couldn't believe it when I went on the pitch. I really enjoyed it and my emotions were through the roof”. He also explained that he had always dreamed of that moment and being in the first team, sharing a dressing room with teammates who also came though La Masia, which has helped him fit in better, as he went on to say that “being with those teammates helped me fit in and perform”. He also highlighted the confidence from the coach, stating “for a young guy like me, that the coach has trusted me, it meant everything. I really appreciate him. How he trusted in me, made me feel relaxed, under no pressure and so I could play how I know I can”. Despite being thrilled by his debut, Xavi was quite clear that this is just the beginning, going on to say “I have to keep working, training and being ready to make the most of any other opportunity that comes my way”.
