May 28th News Barcelona legend Xavi talked about the Club World Cup in an interview.

Xavi won the Club World Cup with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011. He first said: "When you become the Club World Cup, you will feel like you touch the sky. You will see different styles of competition here, and you will compete with teams from Oceania, South America, and North America, which is great."

The Club World Cup has been restructured this summer, with 32 teams participating. Xavi continued: "I think this will be a turning point. Different clubs in the world have the opportunity to measure their abilities in very high-level events." However, Barcelona did not qualify for the Club Cup this summer.

Xavi also lost to Brazil International in the 2006 Club World Cup, recalled: "That game was difficult, and you usually don't know these opponents very much. I remember it was a different game, maybe there was more physical confrontation and contact."
