Xavi Hernández

[Vlom]

Just a reminder... Numbers can't be retired in Spain because La Liga rules require the first team to have #1-25 or something like that.

Can't be 25, may be 30?

Can't be 25, may be 30?

I think him wearing 30 is like Munir today. B team player on the papers, bit part squad role. Then he got moved upto 19.

La liga even has a requirement for set numbers for GK. 1,13 & 25. Just pulling it out of my head. Correct me if I'm wrong

 

[KingMessi]

You can register youth players from 25-50 I believe,but they may only make 10 (?) appearances in the league for the senior side before they are ineligible to play in the b team. I also believe b teamer a above age 25 cannot move between senior and B teams.

6 - Xavi Hernández

Read that there is going to be a mosaic for our legend at camp nou this week. Something like 'Gracias Xavi'. Somebody can confirm? Great gesture for a great player and person if true.

 

[King5Puyi]

Once Iniesta retires, we should have statues of Puyi, Xavi and Ini. The least we can give back to them.

End of an era. Argubly the best midfielder of his generation, and one of the greatest of all times. Many great players may wear the the no. 6 shirt in the future, but I don't think there will ever be one quite like Xavi.

Arguably? Really? He IS the best midfielder of his generation.

 

[DrPepper]

He IS the best midfielder of all time as well.

Well, it's a matter of opinion. Alot of people would argue Zidane was the best, and I can understand why. But for me, Xavi is the greatest.

 

[raskolnikov]

Zidane is overrated as hell, I like him but he wasnt that good as how people make him out to be. I remember him playing subpar for many games for Real. His wc 98 and 06 are very overrated as his Real period.

Pirlo?

 

[BenRobbins]

Pirlo?

Pirlo is really, really overrated in my opinion.

Xavi is the best.

8 years difference in age makes him different generation in football

Pirlo is really, really overrated in my opinion.

Xavi is the best.

Pirlo is gr8 ,but Xavi is better .
No need to underrate gr8 players for sake of our own player

He's one of the greatest, but not the best of all time, imo
