u can't compare a player like xavi who belongs to the list of top three players in the world for the three consecutive years with a player who is not considered as one of the best players in the world for all of his football career. facts!
No one wins.. Soccer wins.. Two amazing players with outstanding abilities.. Two of the best midfielders ever and i am happy to be born i their generation to watch em play :)
scholes was better than xavi, xavi admitted scholes was the best midfielder he had seen in ''15-20 years'' scholes woulda got the ball d'or silver or even gold had he being spainish or playing in spain, fifa favors the spainish league
xavi is a giniuse the best midfieldder in history, the breain av barca and spain and won evrything both with barca and his country. scholes an overrated english midfielder with limited skills.. never was the main man in manu and did nothing in england shirt..so ofcurse xavi is much better
@nafogo Scholes is underrated..England doesn't appreciate Scholes..If Scholes were to play for Spanish team, OMG! Spain will owned everything..Just imagine Scholes and Xavi in the heart of Spanish midfield..They will be unstoppable! Even Iniesta admit, since he was a small kid, he always look up for Paul Scholes in television and learn the way Scholes played...Scholes is magnificent player dude...The only problem is that he is underrated!
Scholes in my opinion.. scholes in his prime(and even now) can pass a ball as good as Xavi, he just lacks the pace now. He could score goals in buckets too, which Xavi is missing from his game. Nobody better than Scholes in that position and there never will be. Hugely underrated.
Im sorry but for me its a no brainer. Xavi ,in my opinion, is the greatest midfielder to have played the game.
When you compare the players it just seems that Scholes has merely a fraction of the talent that Xavi has.
Dont get me wrong Scholes is a magnificient player.He does score important goals but the way Xavi dominates games with pure ability and talent sets him on a different level to Scholes
@NissanSilvia89 Scholes is 5 or 6 years older than xavi yes but xavi played with the barcelona academy at the age of 11 scholes joined the man utd academy at 14 so your argument is invalid
Barcelona are on another planet compared to man u the only players from man u during the 90 to now that r good enough to put on the barca shirt are ryan gigs and scholes. not even c. ronaldo is good enough you might ask why his one of the best in world? answer too selfish his style of play will never blend in with the pass and move style of barca. Paul scholes a legend in football but as a team man have no chance against barca.
Paul Scholes is more competitive Xavi is better technically. Vision equal. Positioning and reading of the game equal. Longeivity Scholes has it so far. Aesthetically, I'd give it to scholes for the beauty of his long shots, but then again Xavi's play all over the pitch is beautiful. Xavi is the most successful and probably has better stats in terms of wins-losses but I (albeit subjectively) judge that Scholes has scored more important goals for his club on the way to success. Scholes by a nose.
Im going for paul scholes you have to remember paul scholes isn't surrounded with the same quality as xavi and still stands out. also better at long range shots, volleys and passing. so think of them as palyers take the barcelona shirt away from xavi and you will see paul scholes the better player but a close one.
@Pitvp2 compared to the quality of barcelona i'm talking about. Man UNTD very good team. Barcelona is on another level. so i have considered he plays for a very good team
@sf2explus quality? man utd had beckham, cantona, giggs who was ace in 90s, schimichael, van nistelroy and also a great manager behind him. scholes hasn't achieved as much as xavi apart from being a good player but no trophies in the end.
@fvresonanator this pitv guy has no rats clue about football dont pay attention to him mate his trying to drag me into a silly argument with him his pathetic arguments. to me scholes is just as good as xavi if not better and im not english.
@Pitvp2 you still dont get it when your comparing man untd to barecelona you have to realise the qual;ity around xavi will always be better than the quality around paul scholes its been this ways for the past 30 years at least barca will always have paul schole playes standard whereas man u paul schole misses one game and the midfields in trouble. xavi has iniesta next to him which almost counts as a double. i rest my case with you you must be a man untd fan.
@sf2explus No it hasn'y been that way for the past 30 years, what are you on about. If you remember man utd team of rooney ronaldo tevez scholes giggs that knocked them out a few years ago. Its only the last 2 seasons that barcelona have moved up a level. But Sir Alex is rebuilding and i garauntee in 3 or 4 years Man Utd will be the best on the planet.
@Pitvp2 2 Champions League trophies,10 Premier Leagues,3 FA Cups,3 League/Carling Cups,7 FA Community Shields,1 Intercontinental Cup and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.No trophies right?
@thatstheowalcott if anything goes by ur username then u dont know what the fuck ur talking about. when xavi has played for the biggest club in the world for almost 20 years and achieved what scholes has, u can speak. as for wallcott...... get a grip hes nothing compared to scholesy. 18 LEGEND or 22 LEGEND. dont matter
scholes has scored some fantastic goals over the years which xavi can only dream abt.. xavi may be a better passer, but scholes is a pure goal scorer..
scholes is way better.i sometime hate that people like xavi,c ronaldo or messi lead players like gerrard,scholes or giggs (even giggs have most assist in both bpl and champions league).
Xavi himself said that Scholes is the best midfielder. Xavi has had the luxury of some of the best player of there generations i.e ronaldinho, messi, Villa etc to score and help his team win trophy's. so has Scholes but not as many as Xavi. Scholes is the best!
xavi is the best midfielder world has ever seen. same empact both in barca and spains national team.. has won evrything both with club and country.. the brain of the ebst team in history.. history will remember XAVI HERNANDEZ
@bostonsons so what? Scholes is a great player, don't get me wrong..but Xavi seems better than him because he has players to play with. Rooney and all that arn't as good as Messi, Iniesta or Davil Villa.. Xavi creates a lot. Most of the possession that Barcelona gains during the game is coming from that man.
I'll take Xavi, who is the first to say that Scholes was unappreciated in the "rough and tough" EPL. That said, Scholes adapted well to that style and some of his best attributes like his distance shooting and long balls are particularly English qualities that really are pointless in a Spanish game based more on possession. Still, nobody in recent memory has orchestrated a game quite like Xavi. His influence is second to none.
@stinghawk99 Listen paul scholes would teach lampard and gerrard a football lesson in passing the world knows this you have to ask your self did england play better with scholes in the middle or is lampard and gerrard doing a real good job you can compare paul scholes to any c. mid player in the world but please dont mention lampard and gerrard here they are just decent players scholes was a genius, he played the game like he was a south american footballer. touch, control, volley
@sf2explus Gerrard or Lampard don't play good football?Look how much these two put into the game.Gerrard plays full game, running up and down.Creating chances and stopping opponents.Why do you think he was England's captain?Even ManU fans have respect for him.2005-2006 Liverpool vs Ac Milan.Liverpool 0-3 down.He doesn't give up,instead motivates his team during the whole game.In the end,Liverpool won on penalties.I'm not saying all this just because I like him,that is WHY I like him.Red machine.
@CallMeWakul look you can find playes that have better touch than gerrard and lampard when you go to coucil estates in east london. however paul sholes is a world class midfielder that doesn't play the typical english way thats all i'll say. a few more of paul scholes england would atleast have a chance at winning the world cup.
Scholes has a better shot and is better at long range passing, but xavi has better vision and is more creative, xavi has a better through ball and controls the tempo of the team much better. But respect to scholes who had a great career.
Both are tremendously talented mid-fielders. It's amazing what Scholes could do at his age even though he retired from playing he will be looked upon as one of the greatest mid-fielders. Only time will tell how far Xavi will go
here is a fact, Scholes and Xavi perform at the same level of greatness in 2010 season, but the thing is, Scholes still manage to perform at the age of 36, while Xavi who is around 31 now, is suffering from injuries and his form is declining.
you can see Xavi is not as good as he was 2 seasons ago.
But Scholes??? his performance has not been affected by age.
compare Scholes with Xavi when Xavi get to 35 or 36, but the thing is, Xavi is not likely to make it to that age.
@timmyfung01 the thing is wioth scholes in the last 2 seasons he was not even as great as he was in his prime that says alot about his ablity the best brittish midfieldr i've seen.
like I said, let's wait until Xavi reach 36 before comparing Scholes performance at age 36.
second thing, Scholes played at the BPL, which is famous for it's physical toughness and staminar consumption, while Xavi is well protected from harsh tackles due to a stricker referee standard. but again, Xavi is still world class to me.
@timmyfung01 scholes wasn't good at 36, and xavi has achieved everything, he doesn't need to pove himself anymore, he can retire gracefully if he wanted to.
@Pitvp2 He achieved everything because he has people to play with him. Messi, Villa, Iniesta, Pedro, Sanches.. amazing players with very, very high technique levels. Scholes has/had no one to play with in man united. Rooney? Nani? They're nothing, compared to Barcelona and the Spanish International team.
@22Brasco lmfao.. and what have these players achieved?? Xavi plays with 7 world cup holders, including himself, and with a football genius and number, Messi. What did giggs, rooney or any other of these players achieve? BIG ZERO. Maybe few champions league titles with man utd, but nothing else. Get your facts right before you call someone an asshole, you fucking goofy retarded cunt. kbai.
are u retarted GIGGS have been playing for united befor u were even born, so that means he fucked ur mom and u came along @!! u homo ass licking fuck !!
@moh0lsx Yeah. Giggs has been playing professional football for a long time. Achieving? What did he achieve? Please tell me. Xavi, World Champion, nominated for the player of the year few times.. Before you say anything.. get your fucking facts right, you fucking goofy piece of shit. United have never had the person that will deliver the balls, as good as Xavi or Iniesta. Fucking moron cuntface. And yeh.. it's "mum" you fucking retarded zoophile. Cunt, you're just a cun'..
@CallMeWakul@Pitvp2 c'mon man dont giv tht lamee excuse....even scholes had great players to play with. players lik beckham,giggs,van nistroolroy,c.ronaldo,neville,rooney and many moore
Those midfielders that come closed to zidane from quality of pass and skills is only iniesta. Xavi is an ordinary midfielder just very avarage like scholes, dont have step overs that help him past through defenders, need some players like iniesta and messi to help him. But if you compared all midfielder zidane have told the media that the best striker he play with is Ronaldo(brazil) and the best passer of the game is beckham ,figo and himself.
The problem is the footage of Scholes in his younger days when he was more advanced is crap to say the least. Nowadays you have so many cameras at each game you can watch Xavi, Iniesta etc will so much more detail. Anyway all 3 are among my favourite players to watch. Says it all though that Xavi and Iniesta raced over to Scholes to try and get his shirt. (Iniesta won!)
Two of the most intelligent football players I have ever seen! These two players can control a game unlike any other player out there. I dont care who is better. Just sit back and appreciate two geniuses at work! Thank you for the video.
@Tuffnelle Scholes>Xavi>Beckham>Rest of playmakres. Barca fans, enjoy while u can, because when Xavi is gone - Barca is gone. And you are spitting in Xavi's face saying that Messi is the best Barca player. Hahaha. Messi's nothing wihout Xavi. Iniesta is fucking Diver. Shit, when Scholes shattered mi with end of his carreer i felt like someone of my close family died. What's the main difference between Red Devils and Blaugrana? WE ARE UNITED! ALL AROUND THE WORLD. We laugh, we cry, WE LOVE!!!
@amirRXZ2008 that is because he is spanish you idiot, clearly the best international team in the world, england isn´t. use your brain dude, if you have any, scholes was a much greater player than iniesta is now
BECKHAM , C RONALDO , NANI , BARCA strength is in mids . guardiola deco xavi iniesta fibre glass thiago . SCHOLES WAS NEVER THE MAIN MAN IN MAN U TACTICS . BUT XAVI IS THE MAIN MAN IN BARCA/SPAIN TACTICAL SETUP . MAN U PLAY THROUGH FLANKS BARCA TROUGH MIDDLE
@stinghawk99 no its not. manu strength is far ball and barca strength is playing the ball through from the middle. you're the one that shuld learn first.
xavi>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> scholes in cantral passing controlling tempo vision . xavi is a better player in 433 shoes in 442 . scholes didn't have ini/busi.alonso BRCAUSE USE ENGLISH PUB MORONS MAN WHO never used tempo controllers of visionary players in CENTER MID . man u mids MAIN job is to GET BALL TO FLANKS. man u is glittered with those those pf players like
JUST SHOWS HOW LOW BRAIN football anaylasing fans from newbie asians indians pakis AFRICANS KOREANS japanese USA aussie jnow about passing football . PASSING FOOTBALL IS IN SPANISH AND SOUTH AMERICAN DNA . paul shoes aint thee best CENTRAL PASSER in world football its xavi , SCHOLES IS A BOX 2 BOX PLAYER AT PRIME CONVERTED INTO CENTRAL AS He GOT OLD and couldnt make those runs into box .
@22Brasco beause they dont know football and xavi has ineista and messi and best team in the world if paul scholes would be in barca he would be the best player in the world and say xavi to score 150 goals in barca and btw paul scholes would never choose barca over man utd
@DavidDeGeaMU lol don't even argue with him, I was reading the comments and apparently he's been coming back to this page like everyday to troll with comments like urs haha
@chof0319 haha your so funny and last time man u vs madrid who won oh yeahh man u and who helped man utd goal vs baca at old trafford ohh scholes and xavi even says hes the best stop being a barca babie and just say it and the best top3 teams in the world
fuck xavi its easy playing with top players around you.... paul scholes is the greatest midfielder... 18 years of controlling football matches for united ... not a single superstar player next to him.. fuck xavi the overrated cunt
@D1lly786 u fucking retard.. scholes played with roy keane , david beckham, ryan giggs, dwight yorke, andy cole, c ronaldo, wayne rooney, carlos tevez... arent they players??? u son of bitch,, xavi is uropean and world champion.. ur ginger asshole is overrated and never shined for england ....dont tell me england is shit becausr when schoels played for england, england was much better than spain..
@22Brasco your an asshole scholes is the best midfielder asshole do u know football yes or no and u checked the comments everyone almost scholes and your the only one that says xavi dude learn football.
@D1lly786 scholes is great but u r talkin nonsense. united had cantona who was best at the time, beckham, keane, schemichael, giggs, so scholes did not control united.
@22Brasco YOU SPANISH CUNTS ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE OF THAT GOAL THAT SCHOLES SCORED THAT KNOCKED BARCA OUT,COME BACK TO ME WHEN XAVI DOES SOMETHING LIKE THAT, XAVI JUST PASSES THAT IS IT, SCHOLES CAN PICK PLAYERS OUT, SHOOT, SCORE GOALS FREQUENTLY, SCORE HEADERS, HE HAS THE FULL PACKAGE, MARADONA IS JUST A CHEATING ARGIE FAT CUNT

Both are tremendously talented mid-fielders. It's amazing what Scholes could do at his age even though he retired from playing he will be looked upon as one of the greatest mid-fielders. Only time will tell how far Xavi will go

here is a fact, Scholes and Xavi perform at the same level of greatness in 2010 season, but the thing is, Scholes still manage to perform at the age of 36, while Xavi who is around 31 now, is suffering from injuries and his form is declining.
you can see Xavi is not as good as he was 2 seasons ago.
But Scholes??? his performance has not been affected by age.
compare Scholes with Xavi when Xavi get to 35 or 36, but the thing is, Xavi is not likely to make it to that age.

@Pitvp2
like I said, let's wait until Xavi reach 36 before comparing Scholes performance at age 36.
second thing, Scholes played at the BPL, which is famous for it's physical toughness and staminar consumption, while Xavi is well protected from harsh tackles due to a stricker referee standard. but again, Xavi is still world class to me.
timmyfung01 2 months ago
@timmyfung01 scholes wasn't good at 36, and xavi has achieved everything, he doesn't need to pove himself anymore, he can retire gracefully if he wanted to.
Pitvp2 1 month ago
@Pitvp2 He achieved everything because he has people to play with him. Messi, Villa, Iniesta, Pedro, Sanches.. amazing players with very, very high technique levels. Scholes has/had no one to play with in man united. Rooney? Nani? They're nothing, compared to Barcelona and the Spanish International team.

Those midfielders that come closed to zidane from quality of pass and skills is only iniesta. Xavi is an ordinary midfielder just very avarage like scholes, dont have step overs that help him past through defenders, need some players like iniesta and messi to help him. But if you compared all midfielder zidane have told the media that the best striker he play with is Ronaldo(brazil) and the best passer of the game is beckham ,figo and himself.

The problem is the footage of Scholes in his younger days when he was more advanced is crap to say the least. Nowadays you have so many cameras at each game you can watch Xavi, Iniesta etc will so much more detail. Anyway all 3 are among my favourite players to watch. Says it all though that Xavi and Iniesta raced over to Scholes to try and get his shirt. (Iniesta won!)

@Tuffnelle Scholes>Xavi>Beckham>Rest of playmakres. Barca fans, enjoy while u can, because when Xavi is gone - Barca is gone. And you are spitting in Xavi's face saying that Messi is the best Barca player. Hahaha. Messi's nothing wihout Xavi. Iniesta is fucking Diver. Shit, when Scholes shattered mi with end of his carreer i felt like someone of my close family died. What's the main difference between Red Devils and Blaugrana? WE ARE UNITED! ALL AROUND THE WORLD. We laugh, we cry, WE LOVE!!!
