Great infographic, thanks
Too many games for Xavi on the past 7 seasons... And most of the time, he played on a high level. Just saying it is impressive doesn't do him justice

In recent seasons; Only Mata 2012-13 (34), Ozil 2010-11 (34) had equal number of assists in a single season like Xavi 2008-09 (34)!
Messi had 33 in 2011-12.

He would probably have more assists if Sanchez and Pedro could actually put the ball in the net, which they are abysmal at doing...

Kind of shows his bad defensive workrate to be honest...

Xavi's numbers in 2008-09 are more impressive cause he plays a deeper role than Ozil/Mata.

Yeah, both Ozil and Mata play as number 10s in a 4231 where every attacker evolves around them.
So it is like aloot easier to get directly involved in a attack.
Kudo's to Xavi!

I'm a huge fan of Xavi but Tata wants to reinstall intensive pressing and I believe this guy will suffer the most. I don't think he has the physical drive anymore to play in this system on a continuous basis. We should save Xavi for the most important games where we need his experience and ability to control things. Try to keep him topfit for 20-25 games would be a success in my book. I'd prefer it over him playing 45 games at 80%.
