No room for Ronaldo in Barcelona: Xavi

Barcelona star Xavi insists he would not have wanted Cristiano Ronaldo to move to the Camp Nou as the European champions don't need players who 'fill gossip magazines'.

The hardworking Spain midfielder said: "The best player in the world is Lionel Messi and there's no chance he will switch," Xavi said in Sport.

"We also have Andres Iniesta, Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o and with that kind of luxury, we are capable of doing anything.

As for Ronaldo, I wouldn't want him here. At Barcelona, we do not have room for players who fill gossip magazines.

We are very hard workers and sportsmen but Ronaldo, on the other hand, is uncontrollable."
