Xavi on target as Barcelona draw 1-1 with Nice

Nice: Veteran Xavi Hernandez came on and helped new-look Barcelona draw 1-1 with Nice in a friendly in southern France on Saturday.

Xavi, introduced at half-time with the Catalans trailing 1-0 to the Ligue 1 club, equalised from the penalty spot midway through the second half.

Earlier, Argentine striker Dario Cvitanich had put Nice in front from the spot after he himself had been brought down by Gerard Pique.
