Andres Iniesta is delighted Xavi is staying with Barcelona.
Xavi has committed to Barca for the new season.
"He's still a Barça player and that's the best news we could wish for," he said.
"I'm delighted. It means so much to have a player that's been with the team so long and it would be really odd for him not to be here. It was one of the best pieces of news this summer."
