I have wanted to make a longer tribute to Xavi for a couple of years now but never got around to do it, until now. For a few weeks I have tried to find Xavi's best and most important goals, assists and all around skills which he has performed in his unbelievable career, and conclude it in one video. I hope you enjoy this video of an absolutely mesmeric footballer!
You did an amazing job. I think the only important goal you missed was the one assisted by Iniesta in Euro 2008 but other than that you really found most of his pearls.
Xavi was the Soul of Barcelona's Possession Puyol was the Soul of the Defence Iniesta was the Soul of the playmaking Messi was the Soul of the attack Now Messi has to be the Soul of everything
I think Xavi and Iniesta are one, you cannot separate them... once separated, Messi had to take half of Xavi's role and left the other half to the other midfielder (which is Rakitic).
You didn't respect them like you did Messi..you gave all the balon d oirs to Messi..all the praise ...all the alien stuff...told he carries Barcelona..told he is the greatest as if he didn't need any others .... failey to pay your dues to other 3 and when they left ...you realise their true value now Messi truly is carrying Barcelona and now you miss those three......
The perfect midfielder. Consisted of absolutely everything: playmaking, passing, midfielding - but most importantly, loyalty, a quality that is very rare in modern football
Loyalty to what? A corporation that sells him when he still feels he can contribute. Your club or any club is not a family or a faith, it is a money making enterprise. Enjoy the football, back your team but don't think player transfers are the will of the player alone. The corporations created the transfer market.
Hollywood passes,...... everything. While Messi used to steal the show Xavi and that other genius were running the midfield like clock work. These 2 are the best midfielders I have ever seen. Throw in Dani Alves and tiki taka was complete!
Xavi is one of kind in football, its like playing a game with hack. His passing is absolutely fantastic, he can see when to pass when to score a goal with fantastic accuracy. Barca was very lucky to have him for many years.
Any footballer worth their salt can do that. Xavi's true specialty is his judgement and vision. He know his soldiers very well. Their favourite foot, their playstyle. Most importantly, he looks like he knew everything the opposition is thinking. Take those dummy for example. Xavi is a master of space. One can emulate Xavi's passing but none can't emulate his mind. The true orchestrator of spaces. Truly the Chameleon Eyes.
Greatest midfielder of all time! Playmaker, goal scorer, amazing passes and vision, runs, control, leadership and teamwork! he's just a perfect midfielder! Awsome work BTW! Hope you get a million sub!
Raul Gonzalez Blanco, Fernando Hierro, Juanito, ......... hahahahahahahahahahahahahah. Only kidding. No doubt he is the best ever, alas spanish main stream media"la caverna del Madrid" would never acknowledge that. That is why Xavi didn't get the praise he deserves in Spain.
The success of the Barcelona and Spain was a teamwork, a really good teamwork. Every player alone is not that good, but players like Xavi and Inesta have played, literally, all his life together under the Barcelona playstyle system. This system was adopted by the Spanish nacional team with the main players from Barcelona. So behind the World Cup title there was a whole life of work, and some generatons of players under the same play style
A Xavi comp that shows more than just his long passing thanks man. The spin on the spot he does to create space is so effective. Simply the best cm of his generation!
@@akilamp8835 They go both together. If one said Xavi is the best. Iniesta is also the best. You can't separate the twin Kings of Barca (Messi was the successor. The Prince.)
Touch, intelligence, movements off/on the ball, accuracy , technical ability , reading the games, understanding of football.... Hes the textbook of midfielder for me... Theres no one better at basic than him... Everyone tryin to start high like neymar but like xavi,iniesta or busquet who mastered the basic??? No one....
I am a madridista tbh, i am not so fond of Barcelona in their tiki- taca age, until this video now I understand what i missed in those times, Xavi, truly artistic player to watch
We will never have that great Midfielder at Barca again, we will never watch his amazing passes and skills, i don't know if there is anyone on the planet who can say anything bad about this man, anyone that would say that he had bad period, anyone that hate him or hated him, anyone that didn't enjoyed his playstyle...Thank you Mastro, God amongst men, pass master, my favourite player of all time, my idol, thank you for everything you brought to football, you was something special and you will always be.
I'm not even a Barca fan but for me Xavi is the greatest midfielder ever his vision and passing range were impeccable. Xavi Inesta combo was leathal. A Legend for every football fan to admire. 0 haters❤️
One name, xavi, like Prince in music, just denotes pure quality. For a small guy,with no pace, he is just utter perfection. Players like him are the reason we fell in love with football.u don't have to be a great athlete to become one of the greatest of all time
maybe following Pep's footstep, Xavi working as assistant under Pep, then start his career by managing Barcelona B first then moving to the first team.
absolutely one of my favorite videos on one of my favorite players. I've been coming back to your video for many years Henrik thanks for putting in effort in this really fascinates me every time i watch it even though i saw it countless times by now. :)
Ray's commentary the perfect music. Holy jesus fuck. You know someone's a goat at football when they make you want to play football just by watching them.
I am Real Madrid fan but truth should be said this player is better than all midfielders of Real Madrid throughput history including Zidane, Beckham, Alonso .... etc
That comment when he said " it's humiliating for Real Madrid. It's heaven for Barcelona" is just pure gold...that Barca team were playing extraordinary football...
best midfielder i hav ever witness. The heartbeat of fc barcelona they havent been the same since he left. win or lose he always dominate the midfield. and messi at the end to finish.
One of the greatest players of his generation in my eyes . In terms of not only controlling but advancing play I've never seen a player so effortlessly mesmeric .
so sad when legends like him say goodbye . Such midfield maestro play is more likely to be never seen in football again. ITS a blessing to have seen him play ## CAPTAIN XAVI
This is a masterpiece man, insane work, perfect music and the sync between Ray Hudson comments and the video got me goosebumps especially at 1:34 , probably one of the best football videos I've seen, wonderful edit of the best midfielder ever in my eyes.
In my opinion he is the greatest midfielder off all time, when barca had, iniesta, Xavi and fabregas in the midfield, we were unstopabble, Messi and villa up front, Puyol and alves in defense, Valdéz in goal, and Ronaldinho as attacking midfielder, we were the best Squad at the moment
AI alguien quiere aprender a ser un pasador dentro de la cancha, debería ver este video. Tremendo señor jugador de fútbol era Xavi, el mejor jugador de la historia de España para mí.
@@viscabarca9563 sorry but Pirlo is more gifted.. he pass better he shots better his penalty is better his left foot is better xD... unlike Xavi who was the driver of only one team full of phenomenal players (and never changed teams), Pirlo did the same thing at Milan and then re-proved it by going in Juve FC the SEVENTH TEAM at that time in Italy until he bringing it in a semifinal and a final champions league, and not with Messi Shevchenko Iniesta or Seedorf but with Vidal Lichsteiner Marchisio etc...

He is best midfielder Spain ever had
Xavi was the Soul of Barcelona's Possession

Xavi the legendary passer , playmaker , maestro , perfect midfielder!
Great video dude! ♥🔥
Thank you!
Xavi and Iniesta Best ever duo

Xavi and xabi best passemaster
Xavi iniesta in midfield...and you have the wc

Don't forget xavi was also a good leader of man when he talked everybody listen even pep😎
Once every 2 months I come and watch this video just to remember what it was like to watch the Barça I fell in love with.
And now he came back to mesmerise your eyes

Awsome work BTW! Hope you get a million sub!
Thank you as always mate!
Mohammed Tanvir . He's not a goal scorer. Everything else is fine.
Mohammed Tanvir now look at your midfielders. Andre Gomes, Paulinho, Alex Vidal, ..........
Absolutely there's no doubt that he is one of the best ever. But he is not the best ever. I am a Barca fan.
LFC_YNWA top 3 for me. I’ve watched him for almost his whole career.
Xavi at his prime is far better than Kroos, modric, pogba , de bruyne , silva
thats not even a question,only zidane is better than xavi
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 LOL?
Why did you bring those names here.
@@juanestebankruhsanmguel1960 Zidane was not even close to Xavi.
Why would you even compare those trash to XAVI

Not long left now👀
Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta MONSTER👹
Más Xavi e Iniesta
Busquet is trash. He was only there because he was from la masia
. Yaya toure was much better
Gargola18 well boys, the expert has spoken.
@@gargola1887 haha
@@Zack-rc3dt busquet and pique is one of the reason the barcelona team sucks right now
my favorite midfielder in the history
I remember Xavi got his first world's attention when he become Player of the Tournament (Euro 2008) and Best Player of Europe in 2008
My god has there ever been a more beautiful passer of the ball then xavi. The heartbeat of two teams Barca and Spain. The midfield maestro king Xavi.
Only Laudrup can compare
Ben pirlo
Guti
I think Michael laudrup has better passing vision
Imagine assisting 4 goals against real Madrid in a single match xavi is just too good
2008/09 ??

@@Communist1986 Zidane was more complete
Yet another example of a Spanish player who deserved more individual accolades and recognition. But we all know he's one of the greatest.
Iniesta and xavi deserved a ball d or each at least once
we miss him so mush :(
donhtr rachi I know, y'll ain't shit without him 😂
if only your club could produce talent like this instead of having to buy buy buy :/
Real Madrid Until I die we still have aniesta and messi
Yes we miss him. But what's more important is that we need a player like him in our squad now.
Xavi assisted in all the finals Barca won in the champion leaque and also in the finals Spain won what a great stats to have
missing this legend
God: So do you want magical first touch or incredible vision?
Xavi: Yes.
Wow. Just woww!
Lol.
Totti also great lol
The man with golden touch
Xavi the chameleon eyes
Love you form India
Best organization midfielder of all history.
Thank you Maestro.
I am a madridista tbh, i am not so fond of Barcelona in their tiki- taca age, until this video now I understand what i missed in those times, Xavi, truly artistic player to watch
He is one of the all time greats. He belongs in any ‘best of all time’ debates. He consistently set the tempo in the biggest games.
My favourite football compilation, something elegant for an elegant player .. Good job
As a Real Madrid fan and as a player who plays the same position, I respect this man! One word = Genius.
We will never have that great Midfielder at Barca again, we will never watch his amazing passes and skills, i don't know if there is anyone on the planet who can say anything bad about this man, anyone that would say that he had bad period, anyone that hate him or hated him, anyone that didn't enjoyed his playstyle...Thank you Mastro, God amongst men, pass master, my favourite player of all time, my idol, thank you for everything you brought to football, you was something special and you will always be.
I have no words for Xavi. He simply plays football in it's purest form . Love ur videos 😍
If I could inject this video into my veins, I would be an addict.
Great job with the syncing of tempo with xavi's movements and passes
I'm not even a Barca fan but for me Xavi is the greatest midfielder ever his vision and passing range were impeccable. Xavi Inesta combo was leathal. A Legend for every football fan to admire. 0 haters❤️
