Rafinha is hoping Xavi chooses to stay with Barcelona.

Rafinha has returned to Barca after last season's loan with Celta Vigo and is eager to work with his senior teammate.

"There are many great players, stars, here. But one I've always admired is Xavi, who is very clever.

"He has a lot of experience, and I always try to be quiet and attentive to what he says," revealed Rafinha.
