'You never stop running, you b*stard!': Xavi to Koke after Atletico Madrid clash

FC Barcelona manager Xavi was full of praise for Atletico Madrid midfielder Koke for his massive effort when the two sides met on Sunday.

Xavi met Koke during the post-match interviews and told him: "You never stop running, you bastard!"

He then told the press: “I have a very good relationship with Koke, we were teammates and I wish him luck.

"I hope we can see each other in the near future, in the Champions League, both teams will be lucky,”

The win over Atletico keeps Barca 8 points off the top of the table and 2 points ahead of Girona.
