Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo admits he's enjoying his football under coach Xavi.

Araujo has become a mainstay for Xavi this season.

He told EFE: "With the arrival of Xavi I learned a lot more because he gave us back the Barça philosophy, which had been lost in recent years. I am the one who learned the most, but the team changed and it is being seen in the results.

"The fruit of our work is being seen. Since Xavi arrived, we have been growing. He implemented all the things he wanted.

"In addition, we were able to have a good preseason and both technically and tactically we learned a lot defensively. Defensive reinforcements arrived and that adds up a lot."
