Xavi has accused the Madrid press of trying to unsettle the Barcelona locker room. The midfield ace has scoffed at suggestions Barca's dressing room has developed rifts over Lionel Messi's Ballon d'Or triumph.
For many, Xavi deserved the gong ahead of the Argentine, but he insists the debate was a ploy from Real Madrid fans in the media to destabilise Barca.
"It is clear that from there (from Madrid) they try everything to unsettle us, but we just laugh. The attempts are part of the show," mocked Xavi.
"It is only fair that Leo won, he is the best player and almost certainly will be one of the five best ever."
