Xavi Simons: TRUTH about Barcelona, the original WONDERKID & Why Spurs feel different

Spurs & Netherlands star Xavi Simons sits down with Gabby for an exclusive, in depth interview.

As he recovers from the ACL injury which robbed him of a place at the World Cup, Xavi opens up on the pressures of being a 12-year-old social media star watched by millions of followers, growing up without a father, and the truth behind his controversial exit from Barcelona at just 16 years old.

Xavi reveals all about his extraordinary footballing life, a life spent alongside Mbappe, Messi & Neymar, a life of incredible highs and bruising lows, one which led him from La Masia to London and the Premier League with Spurs - where Xavi is determined to prove himself to the fans and become the player he always knew he could be.
