Won't happen that soon. Hopefully. Paul Scholes is 37 and he's on top of it. Plenty of years ahead for Xavi.

He should have taken the route between the defenders and not on the outside. Villa and Pedro would. Still, seems like he's making some progress in decision making.

Doubt he does speak fluently. But certainly picked up some stuff from Cesc.

So was Vieira and he had it all which made him a legend recognised by all football funs. Not only pundits like it is with Busquets. It'd make Sergio a complete midfielder and Xavi won't always be there. He's actually horrible in forward runs in comparison to the standard of his technique and...

There's only one thing to improve in his game. Forward runs. Watch Khedira and learn. In all other aspects of midfield football craft he's almost perfect.

Sign him up Pep... I meant Tito!

He went a level down since he got injured. He's inconsistent but that's quite expected from a 21 year-old boy. The great thing is he's playing a lot - 2660 minutes, 40 games - so the experience is being collected.

Anonymous in the first half. Put his shit back together in the 2nd one and eventually won the game. As usual. Just another day in the office. SICK!

This boy is special. Have seen some footage and it's the closest thing to 10-11 years old Messi I've ever seen. Same innate prodigy abilities. Great premise!

The refereeing committee gathers today before our game so Cesc will miss Getafe and will be available against Levante most probably.

Very mature performance. Good lad. He will make it.

It's 18 matches left. 70 goals is in his reach, though, he won't play all of the games.

That pass at 0:06. That is brilliant football stuff - also, pay attention how he directs Pique what to do with the ball. Next brilliant move is 0:26. He marks the pass to Iniesta, fooling the midfielder marking Messi, and at the very last moment changes mind and passes the ball to Messi...

Best one-touch pass footballer I've ever seen.

Hey, man. I put a dot after Madrid, not a comma :)

That was a great performance from Thiago. Just wonderful. Did all what was expected very, very well. What a shame he had Mascherano and Sergi Roberto at his side and not one of our midfield top dogs. Top prospect. He's ready to play against absolutely anyone bar Madrid. Valencia, Milan, Santos...

Damn, he might not be ready for Leverkusen. The cut must have been deeper than initially examined. Not an amusing perspective.

Slowly getting back to his normal. Not bad performance ;)

Scholes is a special kind of player but Xavi is one of football greats. The main difference is the ability to control the midfield, both his team's and an opponent's, and dominate the games. Scholes might have better shot, might play slighty more accurate long balls but he never ever controlled...

Messi is shit lately in comparision to his normal. Still, he's the deciding factor. That's wonderful, as sooner or later he will be back.
