Barcelona midfielder Xavi has heaped praise on Spanish international teammate .
Barcelona midfielder Xavi and Atletico Madrid s Koke were invited to do a face-to-face interview for the ahead of their all-Spanish quarter-final Champions League tie.
Koke, 22, has been in phenomenal form for the current league leaders this season. In 26 starts, the playmaker has scored six goals and assisted a further 12 tying in first place in La Liga alongside Gareth Bale and Cesc Fabregas for assists.
His displays haven t gone unnoticed, and a number of Europe s leading clubs have reportedly sent scouts to watch the star in action, with being one of them.

The only snag for David Moyes men is Koke s reported 60m release clause, though if the United boss wants to buy the world s best players and solve his midfield problem, he must be expected to pay a premium.
Despite Barcelona being named favourites heading into Tuesday s clash at the Nou Camp, knows of the Rojiblanco s incredible workmanlike abilities and labelled his successor in the Spanish squad as extraordinary.
He said: Koke is an extraordinary footballer.
He has everything,Eagles sign OL Andrew Gardner@@@@@, he has talent, physical condition and he is a footballer of the present and the future.
He is practically in the Spanish squad now and he will be there for the next 10 years. He has a special supplement, we play practically in the same position and for me he is just extraordinary.
Should Manchester United make an offer for Koke in the summer?
