Barcelona boss Xavi has aimed a dig at Mikel Arteta over the fall-out the Arsenal boss had with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during the striker’s final months at the Emirates Stadium.
The Gabon international was stripped of the Gunners’ captaincy and frozen out by Arteta due to what was described as disciplinary issues, with his last appearance coming in the defeat to Everton on December 6.
Aubameyang was handed an escape route out of Arsenal by Xavi and Barcelona, with Arsenal agreeing to mutually terminate his contract to ensure he could move on a free transfer.
