Barcelona coach Xavi has reiterated hopes of Sergi Busquets signing a new deal.

Busquets was back for victory over Real Betis on Saturday.

The club captain is off contract in June and Xavi has made it clear he wants him to stay.

He said, “I have already said a thousand and one times that for me, he [Busquets] is key and fundamental.

“He was right on the last pass. I hope he stays, but it's up to him."
