Xavi says new coach Luis Enrique convinced him to stay.
"The season was over and I was disappointed to be on the bench for the game against Atletico Madrid and with a new coach incoming with his own ideas and players, I felt that my time at the club was up," said the veteran to Sport.
"He (Enrique) told me I was going to be a very useful member of the squad, that if I showed I was up for it,
I'd play, that I could still be competitive. He said to have a good think about it because Barça were going to have a good year. I took a day to make my decision.
"Leaving Barça would have been a big screw-up."
