Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez confirmed on Thursday that he will end his 17-year playing career with the Catalans at the end of the season to join Qatari side Al Sadd.

"I would like to announce my departure from Barcelona at the end of the season," he told a press conference adding that at some point he will return.

The 35-year-old is Barca's most decorated player of all time and could yet finish with two more titles in the Copa del Rey and Champions League finals.
