Is Xavi the best midfielder ever?

[yusuf]

No, but when his career finishes he will be in the top 10.

i think more like top 5

 

[Galning]

It's hard to label a player as the best ever.
But he's definitely one of the best!

 

[barcafc]

YES

 

[silky_soccer]

he is defo the best barca midfielder ever.

Platini/Zizou/Xavi - Take your pick.

EDIT: Spanish

 

[dalitis8]

The best of the last decade...of this we can be certain....

...especially since Zizou was partly nineties...

 

[tk_TommyKim]

I'm going to act out and say Zizou was better than Xavi...but Xavi has to be one of the best.

 

[-zlatan-]

One of the best yes

 

[Metaphysical]

he embodies everything that midfield is about.

so yes.

(when I say midfield I'm excluding wingers as they are a different type of player even though they sometimes play in the midfield line)

 

[Myrmecophile]

He's no Kaká.

 

[ranjix]

He is the best central midfield and best passer

 

[nebeer]

I would put him in my all time best 11. So he is one of the very best midfielders ever.
