Xavi has urged Barcelona to promote from within when it comes to replacing Andres Iniesta.

The Barca icon has identified two La Masia products who deserve a first team chance.

"After Andrés maybe there is Sergi Samper or Carles Aleña," he declared.

"It is not the same when you have one from home compared to one that comes from outside."

Alena made a goalscoring debut last week against Hercules, while Samper is currently playing on-loan with Granada.
