He told GQ: “As a Barcelona player he is a pride; as a footballer and midfielder like me, a privilege.
“I did not know Xavi personally and, although I had no doubts, on a day-to-day basis he is showing that he knows football like few others. I am clear that we are all going to learn and improve by his side, both personally and as a group.
