That pass he made when Sandro squandered the goal scoring chance.... so Xaviesque!
This midfield genius doesn't make the shortlist and yet carthorses like Bale do. It boggles my mind. There's no other player like Sergio in world football, who can do what he does on and off the ball and who can read the game as well as him, and yet he never gets the recognition he deserves.
Even without injuries he barely gets a rest. There's just no replacement for him.
