Juanjo Brau was the first casualty of the first team after the arrival of Xavi Hernández to Barcelona. The head of physiotherapy learned, on the same Monday that Xavi was presented at the Camp Nou in praise of crowds, that the club had decided to do without his services. It was the football director, Mateu Alemany, who told him personally that he was ceasing to exercise his duties in the first team, although he clarified that the idea was to relocate him to another department.

That same afternoon, the head of medical services, Ramon Canal, met with Brau to find a solution to his case.
