Xavi mastered the concept of space and time in football, and remains one of the greatest central midfielders of all time. He is also one of the most successful footballers of all time and has managed to win all the major titles. He is also one of the finest Champions League footballers of all time, and won 4 titles in his distinguished career.

Xavi played for Barcelona for almost two decades, and won his first Champions League title in 2005-06. He then became an intrinsic part of Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering team and won 2 Champions League titles in 3 years from 2009 to 2011. He signed off by winning his 4th and last Champions League title with Barca in 2015. He played in a whopping 767 matches for Barca and scored 85 goals.

Xavi is one of the finest players when it comes to passing, that the game has ever seen. He also acted as the engine of the dominantCatalan side of 2000s and 2010s. He is still active as a player, and would go down as one of the best in the history of the game.
