Xavi Hernández

Guardiola: "Xavi? He felt really good when coming off. A big thanks to the medical staff."

It's better to rest him in CL game. Now that the games are not as vital as they might be in the near future it's better to use this chance to let Xavi to use more rest.

60 minutes was enough for him to provide some of those deadly balls to Alves. Im glad Pep took him out we don't want to risk him so much now

Didn't understand the Xavi-Masch substitution. Xavi is invaluable and in games we 're positioned comfortably Thiago can be slowly eased in to the first team. The more the game time, the more it'll do the boy good. With our modest creative numbers in midfield he needs preparing to fill in for Xaviesta if such a situation presents itself.

And I have to say THAT backheel was just a 100% footbll orgasm.

haha yes, I loved the replay after replay of that perfect futbol moment. The commentators couldn't get enough of it either. I was just in awe at his expression as well.

It was Villa.

Villa also did backheel pass late in the second half but I think Plip was referring to the one early in the first half, and Villa was on the receiving end.

May be Xavi can be rested for the Copenhagen game.

 

[Gnegneri]

Why? He said he could have played the whole game.

Just give him a bit of gametime. Let him come in after an hour for instance. Let him roll a bit, don't let his knees get rusty. that way he is ready whenever we need him to the fullest but he isn't overloaded or rushed back.

 

[Ryan_Cule]

He is Machine !

 

[Daemul]

Xavi will be fit for the Copenhagen game, so we should beat them comfortabley.
