Fujairiah FC fans won't be happy seeing this…

Fujairah's dream summer signing Xavi scored from the spot in Barcelona's 1-1 friendly draw with Nice in Southern France yesterday. 

Luis Enrique's side was full of new blood but they relied on their most experienced player to equalise as they trailed 1-0. 

The Spanish World Cup winner recently had an offer on the table from Arabian Gulf League Fujairah FC to make a switch to the UAE.

However the 33-year-old opted to remain with the Catalans for at least another season.

Barca's next friendly will be against Napoli on Wednesday. Their opening game in La Liga will be against Elche on August 24. 

Here is Xavi's superbly taken spot kick:
