Xavi picks player with ONE La Liga start in 2024 among 'most improved'

Xavi has named Oriol Romeu as one of his most improved Barcelona players despite using him sparingly. 

The 32-year-old has started just 10 times in La Liga this season, only once this year. He has become more of a squad player to see off games. 

Yet, Xavi is impressed with his performances. He said: "There are injuries, but we have players at a high level. Look at Oriol Romeu, who has improved a lot."

Romeu made another late cameo in Saturday's 1-0 win over Las Palmas, featuring for just nine minutes.
