#4 Xavi
A star product of the fabled Barcelona Academy, the Spanish midfield maestro eased into the Barcelona team from the Barcelona B team in the 1998/99 season and spent 17 years at the Nou Camp, where he went on to become one of the greatest midfielders of his generation. He won 8 La Liga titles, three Copa Del Rey, six Supercopa de Espana, two UEFA Super Cup, two FIFA Club World Cups, and four UEFA Champions League titles. In addition, he won two UEFA European Championships and one FIFA World Cup with Spain. Xavi is one of the most decorated footballers of his era and was the backbone of the Barcelona dominance in the 21st century.
The Spaniard left Barcelona at the end of the 2014/15 season and joined Al Sadd in the Qatar Stars League where he is still playing.
Xavi has since revealed that he had an offer to join Louis van Gaal in 2014 during his revamp at Manchester United but rejected the offer to join the Premier League giants to extend his stay at Nou Camp. With the players who had joined the United rooster that summer, Xavi perhaps would have been the ideal addition to make them click, yet United could not persuade him to make the move.
