Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez gave a press conference after their victory over Ceuta in the Copa del Rey. The Catalan coach spoke about Memphis Depay's departure and praised the work of his players against the Ceuta team.
"I don't know if someone will come in to replace him. We will have to reinforce the attack. We'll see if it's possible, but I think it would be great.
"Memphis has told us that he wanted to leave and we have respected his decision," the Spanish boss said.
"Anyway, it's fine if we don't sign someone to replace him. He asked me to leave because it was a good opportunity for him," he concluded.
