After the game, there was expectation   Xavi could talk about his departure from Barcelona and respond to  Laporta's statements  last Tuesday about why he fired him a few weeks ago.

But Xavi did not want to speak. On the pitch, they asked him if he had any message for Laporta. Xavi's response was a resounding "no." Very politely, but making it clear that he did not want to touch the subject further.
