Barcelona coach Xavi has explained his decision to take legal action against two journalists.

It was announced this week that Xavi was suing two reporters over recent claims.

He said today: "I am not going to tolerate lies or the situation of inventing things. It is time to say 'enough', that is enough.

"This is something that has never happened to me before. I understand where I am, but to a certain extent. I will not tolerate lies or the situation of inventing things.

"It is time to say 'enough', that's enough . They are very big lies."
