Barcelona legend Xavi says Juventus deserve to win the Champions League.

Juve meet Real Madrid in the final next week.

“As a fan of Barcelona, I can't support Real Madrid," the World Cup-winner told Bild.

“When Real do well it means Barça have done badly. So I'll keep my fingers crossed for Juventus, quite simply they've earned it after their achievements in recent years.

“[Toni] Kroos is like an engine in the Madrid midfield. He reminds me very much of myself in the way he plays, he's almost my successor in that position.

“[Sami] Khedira, meanwhile, is always at the service of Juve, his position is the entire pitch. The best thing about him is that he's a quiet worker who doesn't demand recognition."
