Last season, many Barca fans were mad at Xavi for giving Pablo Torre little game time.
The 20-year-old rarely gets any minutes on loan at Girona. Meanwhile, another talent of his position has enjoyed a rise in form at Barca, Fermin Lopez.
"When Xavi didn't give Torre enough minutes, people heavily criticised Xavi for that, but have you noticed the difference in the way Xavi's handling Fermin Lopez? Right from pre-season. Stark contrast," Barca fan Subham writes via X.
"'Xavi has an agenda against Torre'. Girona's manager, Michel, also has an agenda against Torre, it seems... 💀"
Pablo Torre's Barca story was similar to the one of Riqui Puig. While being a quality playmaker, the midfielder reportedly didn't impress the coaching staff with his positioning and progress in training.
Meanwhile, Xavi trusts Fermin who only had part of the pre-season with the first team. The attacking midfielder, who is also 20, made the difference in a friendly against Real Madrid and scored an equaliser against Mallorca last time out.
