Speaking about Aubameyang, Xavi said: “I feel bad because he helped us a lot.
“He was an example on and off the pitch.
“He made a big difference – look at his numbers. As a person, he’s a jewel and always training with a smile on his face.
“It’s a shame because you want to have these type of players in your squad but it was a good opportunity for him and for the club as well.
“We needed to put the pieces of the puzzle together and in the end, I think we’re all happy.
“But I feel bad as a coach to lose a player like Aubameyang. He was an example for the club and for all players.”
