Xavi Hernandez was unveiled at the Camp Nou on Monday as he completed his move to Barcelona. He received a predictably emphatic response and thanked his supporters as he took over as the club's new head coach.

The 41-year-old was given permission to rejoin Barcelona after the Catalan giants agreed to meet the release clause in his contract with Qatari side Al Sadd on Friday. Xavi has played 779 games for Barcelona and won 25 trophies.

The former Spain international had left Barca in 2015 to finish his playing career at Al Sadd before taking over as head coach.
