Barcelona coach Xavi discusses Christensen, Torre futures

Barcelona coach Xavi has denied claims he's wiling to sell Andreas Christensen.

The Denmark defender has been linked with a move away in recent weeks.

But Xavi says: "He is a personal signing of mine, Andreas. We have missed him a lot.

"The defensive line takes it very well, we are always aware of what can happen. He is a guarantee, a spectacular player. We value him- very much."

Meanwhile, Xavi rubbished claims of Pablo Torre disappointing coaching staff.

"I have read about Pablo that he has bad habits, all of that is false. He is an example, he works well, he likes football.

"Inside the locker room he is very loved, he is a very good boy. The issue is that there is a lot of competition, he is playing minutes in the Barça first team and it is a lot. He is helping us. I hope he is important and is prepared."
