Xavi believes FIFA's 14-month transfer ban for Barcelona is unfair.

Barcelona was found to have irregularities in the signings of 10 young players over recent seasons.

"It's disproportionate and unjust. We'll try to oppose it," said Xavi.

"La Masia does a more than adequate job, it's part of our philosophy. Barca spends many years working properly with youngsters, we look after them.

"We're not isolated from what happens, but we try to stay calm in the dressing room. What happens outside helps to unite us."
