Video: Xavi and Llorente share touching moment before Champions League final

They may be on opposite sides tonight, but Xavi and Fernando Llorente remain firm friends.

The two Spaniards started the Champions League final on the bench for their respective clubs tonight, but shared a wonderful moment on the pitch before kick-off.

The two are known as great friends, and were spotted before the game chatting and hugging on the Berlin Olympic Stadium field before the game started.

This will of course mark Xavi’s last game for the Catalans before he calls time on his 24 year association with the club to head to the Qatari league. The Llorente moment is therefore unlikely to be the only time the legendary midfielder gets emotional tonight.
