From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Xavi has revealed his admiration for Matt Le Tissier, saying that his whole house was "obsessed" with the Southampton legend when he was growing up in Spain.
The former Barcelona man Xavi, who now plays for Al Sadd SC in Qatar, has revealed that Le Tissier, who stayed at Southampton for all of his career, was a childhood hero of his because of his "sickening" goals.
"In Catalonia there used to be a half-hour programme every Monday where they'd show the best goals from the Premier League," the 36-year-old said.
"Every week, Matt Le Tissier would be on the show. I'm talking outrageous, sickening goals.
"Straight in the top corner, left-foot flick and then right over a defender and score against Newcastle.
"We used to say: 'This guy, Le Tissier, is outrageous and he never goes to a big team. He stays at Southampton. It's incredible. He could play for anyone.’
"Our whole house was obsessed with him."
