Luis Enrique: Barcelona must learn to live without Xavi

Barcelona boss Luis Enrique says they must learn to live without Xavi.

Xavi played his final home game for Barca yesterday in their 2-2 draw with Deportivo La Coruna.

Enrique said that he "can't be replaced" because "no two players are the same", so he insisted that the club "will have to adapt" to life without the midfield maestro.

He added: "We've got two finals left and in view of what the team have done so far, we're optimistic. They'll be two very tough matches. The fans' support will be of great help and we are going to try to capture two more trophies for the club. Winning the treble is difficult in the extreme."
