Barca boss Xavi, while looking at the statue, pointed out what he thought was inappropriate.

Maradona is strongest in possession of the ball in his left leg, but the statue shows the right leg to control the ball.

Harvey said: (The statue) is beautiful. The only problem is that the statue controls the ball with its right leg, but (Maradona) is on the left leg.

After winning 4-2 away from home, Barcelona advanced to the Round of 16 of the Europa League with an aggregate score of 5:3.
