Xavi Espart Promoted to First Team

Barcelona has promoted 19-year-old canterano Xavi Espart to the first team following an impressive pre-season that convinced coach Hansi Flick and sporting director Deco. The young defender, who started as a left-back in the team's opening league match against Elche wearing number 36, will now wear the number 12 jersey.

Espart's promotion comes as a reward for his outstanding performance during pre-season, which earned him the trust of Barcelona's coaching staff and management. sport-tr.bet
