  • Im a Real Madrid fan, but this is by far the best player in the world. He's not mediatic and people dont recognize Xavi's hard work in both Spain and Barcelona. He's the team's brain. He's responsible for the massive amount of titles he won with his team. It's trully a shame this guy hasn't received one or two Ballon D'Or.

  • Xavi is the only player i like from barca . He is a true legend and the best player in this team , working hard , but under the shadow of messi. Why then messi aint doing shit in argentina ? I guess he cant make it without xavi and iniesta , and this is not just a statement ...

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY XAVI HERNANDEZ...im a man utd fan but you are one of my favourite players in my lifetime with ryan gigss and alex del piero :)

  • Ok I have to admit, I was a bit harsh with my previous comments, Xavi is one of the best passers of the ball and Barca are the greatest team in the world and have been for some time now, but how that guy called Gerrard overrated I have no idea, and you have to admit, EPL has more variety.

  • king of midfielder..

  • Also I don't know where you lot get the idea that Barca are invincible, remember when they got dominated at the emirates last year? far superior my ass.

  • @craigyt1

    How do you Arsenal fans come up with this type of delusion? Barca were clearly the better side that match and Arsenal hit back on the counter twice. Not to mention Messi had a good goal disallowed, during which Song handballed as well. Arshavin also handballed in the box and Song easily could have been booked on 4 separate occasions. Yes, they got 'dominated'.

  • @Guess10000

    1) I'm not an Arsenal fan, I was just bringing up an example that Barca are not invincible. 2) Why are you on about a preseason game? it's just a friendly, it's not about winning, it's about getting match fitness. 3) Remember England beat Spain last year? another example that Spain are not invincible 4) If there is anything I have learnt it's that the majority of Barca fans are cocky twats 5) You've probably never been to a Barca game in your life.

  • @craigyt1 Theyre not invincible, but FAR ahead of any other team, dominated at the emirates? 29% ballposession for arsenal? 1 shot on target? their keyplayers shut down, and completely invicible? barca DOMINATED and CONTROLED the whole game, like they did with madrid/chelsea/united/milan. theres NO team in history, who dominated 4 world class teams in a CL. This barca = not invicible, but sure its the best team of the century.

  • @moluksefreefighter01

    Yes I have to agree they are the best side I have ever seen, they play the nicest football, but that doesn't matter at the end of the day the objective is to score goals for your team and get them the 3 points, doesn't matter how you do it.

  • @craigyt1 Yes thats why i said they are not invincible. But one of the strenghts is, They can keep their calmness when they are behind, most of the teams dont have that, barca stays calm and rely on their strenghts, and 9 out of 10 they win the game, like against madrid/chelsea/milan/arsenal.

  • @craigyt1 did you see the amount of chances barca missed? hahaha

  • If Barcelona can completely outclass the champions of the EPL, then that has to say something about the difference in the levels between the two. Even Madrid, who is second best in La Liga, can defeat any team from the EPL. It must mean that La Liga has to be doing something right because these two teams are not worsening, they are only getting better...

  • @craigyt1 And therefore I look at them objectively. You use them word “we”, when talking about Gerrard, and being a Liverpool fan, you obviously can’t look at them objectively. No point in arguing with a narrowminded Liverpool fan then. Anyway, Xavi will always be remembered as the better and more succesfull player.

  • @kurten22

    Facts? Yes thats right, Gerrard has more assists and goals to back him. Gerrard is a leader, an engine, a set piece expert, he has vision. He has way more to offer than Xavi, no point in even arguing about this because you don't deserve my time.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 the same number of teams have won EPL and La Liga in the last 6 years or so. So to say that real and barca win everything and that anyone can win the EPL is wrong. Both leagues have their pros and cons. i.e. EPL is fast paced and highly competitive throughout the league whereas La Liga is is more about ball retention for the top clubs. It's all down to opinion; if you like easy on the eye football you prefer la liga and if you prefer high paced action you prefer EPL.

  • @benpotter1992 easy eye on football? no if you like organized, technical and posession football, you watch the La liga, any EPL team wants to play the passing play, they know its the key in modern football, but also they know they dont have the team for it, ferguson, wenger, mancini, villas, cant play the passing game, simply because he dont has the players for it, EPL teams are forced to play that kind of style.

  • @moluksefreefighter01

    Also any professional can pass a football along the floor, I should expect anyway considering they are all overpaid.

  • Give up with you idiots, I'm not going to go on. How is a player who is better statistically "overrated" your all just a bunch of biased muppets. I'm not just saying Gerrard is better because I'm a LFC fan. Facts are facts. Also I mentioned that La Liga sucks compared to the EPL. EPL is way more intense and faster.

  • @craigyt1 Haha what a load of CRAP! EPL is overrated as fuck! 

  • @moluksefreefighter01

    And La Liga sucks dick, there is only Real Madrid and Barca who are great, then you have Valencia, Athletico Madrid etc... who are average teams. EPL is way more intense, Man United, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool.. Even Newcastle and Stoke would fuck up the likes of Valencia.

  • @craigyt1 What a joke! La liga has technical teams, wich would TRASH all the shitty physical teams in england, a good position play will FUCK up physical teams, even lavente and getafe can beat stoke or newcastle EASILY. the fact that the topteams cant dominate against the small shitty teams like blackburn, stoke fulham etc, is because they lack quality, creativity, and technique, EPL is just work football, no tactics, no organisation, just 2 teams fighting for the victory.

  • @craigyt1 La liga is way more technical, organized, and tactical, thats what a real football fan wants to see, not 2 teams that work their ass off. EPL is so fucking overrated, the teams with money have a decent side, the rest is COMPLETELY shit, and not even on la liga's level. EPL teams never heard of pass and move, keep posession, and make short passes, insetad of long balls, who wants to see long balls to a 6ft4 striker, who need 5 seconds to control the ball decent?

  • @moluksefreefighter01

    Fucking hell, do you ever shut the fuck up? How is La Liga more technical? what a load of bollox that is, EPL takes way more skill since the football is played much faster. You'd have to be a retard or a boring cunt to say La Liga is more enjoyable. By the way your one of the most biased cunts i've ever spoken to. You don't have a clue about Football. Every team plays differently, Arsenal are about possession, Liverpool long balls etc..

  • @craigyt1 HAHAHA you're such a retard! arsenal and city are the only teams who play the passing game well. EPL more technical? is this a joke? keeping posession is the key in the modern game, thats why all the teams that cant hold posession are going downhill, Milan, Inter, juventus, liverpool, chelsea, even arsenal, barca are the masters of keeping posession, thats why theyre number 1. To say the EPL is more technical than la liga is a fucking joke, i dont even take you serious after this.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 Fuck sake, when will you get it in your thick skull you stupid cunt. EPL is way faster than La Liga, it's harder to keep posession because it way more intense/high pressure. I'm not saying Barca aren't the best team in the world! I said the EPL is better overall because it is more balanced. EPL is way more balanced, anyone can win it's unpredictable whereas Barca/Real win every game. Barca are the best team in the world, but Madrid aren't invincible.

  • @craigyt1 Faster? pressure? United, chelsea, liverpool let alone those small teams dont play pressure football. the fact that they " run" over the field doesn't mean its harder to play posession football. english teams dont have small midfielders and midfielders that think fast, they have tall strong midfielders, so its harder to chase down small players like xavi and iniesta, barca players touch the ball once, so how will tall midfielders get the ball? the ball goes TO fast for them.

  • @craigyt1 EPL is not balanced, its just 2 teams that fight for every meter. To beat teams like stoke, blackburn etc etc etc, you have to be creative and technical, NO EPL teams has that, thats why they lose to those small physical club, they lose because of the opponents physical pressence, they lose challnges etc, while barca and spanish teams dont play physical, they play the passing game, passing game will always beat physical style of play.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 I like the fact that you think your correct on everything you say, it's your opinion, at the end of the day I was brought up to watch EPL, and you was probably the same with La Liga. I only watch El Classico the rest are too boring for me, but the tempo of El Classico doesn't even come close to beating Liverpool vs United. Mate your saying it's just 2 teams, What about spurs? they weren't even in the top4 last season and they are 3 points from the top.

  • @craigyt1 No the EPL is faster off the ball, and la liga is faster on the ball. la liga has alot of teams that dictate th tempo, from slow to very fast, wich is VERY hard to defend, and VERY hard to do, because you need a very quality passing midfield. like Lpool with alonso those days. he dicated the tempo, EPL got no players anymore who can do it, its just 100% forward and go go and go, the EPL is fast off the ball, because the players are real pacey workers. ramires, gerrard etc tc etc .

  • @craigyt1 and there are no tactics. barca-real is a 100% tactical game, wich you NEVER see in the EPL. The players have to be smart to know exactly how to positioning themselfs, wich they NEVER saw in england. england =pacey, speed, work, passion, figting over the 90 minutes, la liga = technical, tactical, and very organized, its just what you like. i just dont like tough players work their butt off, but cant even control the ball.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 Oh gawd, you really are clueless and biased, maybe try watching football outside of your home country? What the hell are you talking about, no tactics in the EPL, just because we don't all play possession like Barca doesn't mean we aren't tactical, what about counter-attack, long ball, high pressure? La Liga and EPL are completely different from a spectators pov. There is a reason the EPL is the most viewed because it is the most exciting.

  • @craigyt1 I dont watch football outside of my own country? im from holland, so that makes no sense. and yes no tactics in the EPL, its easy to defend long balls, since the only long balls expert in the EPL was paul scholes, you dont have no tactics at all to defend long balls, and 90% of EPL teams doesn't pressure high up the pitch. they play almost with 8 man behind the ball ( most of the average teams) EPL is the most vieuwed because the most topclubs play there, and thats because of MONEY.

  • @craigyt1 If city and chelsea didn't had any money, liverpool, arsenal and united are the only 3 topteams, United and liverpool are going downfall, so is arsenal. people remember the great invincibles, the great liverpool era, United in their glory days, but now... its doesn't look good, they just buy buy and buy players, while the la liga has homegrown players, most of the team play with players out of their own youth. EPL teams fucking up football with money, and the results aren't there.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 you don't half go on, just leave it will you. Managers specialise in there job and know what they are doing with the tactics. As for money, you need to accept it plays a big part in the game now, and Barca probably wouldn't be winning the champions league every year if it wasn't for money. If you want to talk about money lets look at Madrid as well. If you have such good talent coming through the youth academy why would you spend hundreds of millions?

  • @craigyt1 is this a joke? Pique/Puyol/Busquets/Valdez/Xa­vi/Iniesta/Thiago/Pedro/Messi all came out of the barca academy! are you serious with this? Chelsea/United/Liverpool/Juven­tus/Milan/Inter/Madrid have spend more than barca, and have more players in the team that where brought in. barca has the most players from their own youth! and im not even a madrid fan, screw madrid, i dont talk about madrid.

  • @craigyt1 And withing a few years, we only play with youth players, because the la masia is now FULL of talent, the juvenil a and b are dominating every tournament, and within 5 years the starting line up are 11 players out of the la masia. thats the barca future. and no other team will be EVER able to do that.

  • @moluksefreefighter01

    Your talking about one youth academy alone, what about the rest in La Liga? It's not just Barca that have a great youth academy you know? Liverpool and United have a good youth academy also, this is the most pointless discussion ever because there is no answer both leagues have there pro's and cons.

  • @craigyt1 You said barca wont have the succes if it wasn't for money, now thats a pointless discussion! i talk about the barca youth, because barca is my team, i dont care about valencia's youth, or atletico's youth. i said barca has the best youth in the world, they showed it with the current barca. and the juvenil teams who DOMINATED every single tournament.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 Barca probably wouldn't be winning the CL every year if it wasn't for money, what about David Villa, Abidal, Mascherano, Dani Alves etc.. You think I'm dissing Barca but i'm not, I think they are the best team on the planet at the moment. But the EPL is more competetive than La Liga. It's funny though because when you look at the spain squad it's all barca/real players. Hardly any from the other la liga sides.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 just shows there is only 2 big teams in La Liga. With the acceptions of Valencia/Athletico/Malaga being acceptional.

  • @craigyt1 Valencia/atletico/malaga are not way below the EPL Topteams. while the EPL is far below barca and real. United was suppost to be the best team in the EPL and got DOMINATED by barca, when valencia/malaga always give barca a hard time. atletico too, but they have some problems with their form atm. the fact that the 2 best teams cant beat 2 average european teams says it all. napoli and basel aren''t better than valencia/atleticvo/malaga/vill­areal/sevilla.

  • @craigyt1 and all the la liga teams play quite decent football, bot all being that good, but the basics are there. while in the EPL the bottom teams dont even have the basics of football like ballcontrol, and pass the ball to a teammate. games between Stoke-bolton are TERRIBLE more mistakes in only that game, than on a whole satudarday in the la liga, concluding every game.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 Are you kidding me? For some reason you seem to think spanish clubs are invincible when it comes to european football. Madrid are a great team but are no better than United or Chelsea. Barca are the best but are not invincible either, your 5 points from the top and drawed against Espanyol. And you must be a fool to think the likes of Valencia/Athletico could keep up with the top EPL teams, only Barca and Real have success in europe, the rest fail.

  • @craigyt1 Madrid are not better than united and chelsea? is this a joke? madrid's squad is ALOT stronger than united's and chelsea's, madrid is better in every way, and has ALOT more quality. where 5 point ahead yes, so? and yes we drawed espanyol, while we where 99% the better team, unlike manchester against newcastle, where newcastle just was the better team. valencia/atletico would keep up EASILY. their creativity will add a new domension to the EPL, since they never heard of that.

  • @moluksefreefighter01 LOl you shit motherfucker at least Man Utd didnt lose 5-0 to Barca despite being outplayed, stupid jackass, hahaha, careful guys, this faggot here dont even watch football let alone knows the definition of it, so stop trolling ya kid, u dig me?

  • @ahchaibloodcrip WTF are you talking about? i dont know nothing about football? and you call Messi overrated? HAHAHAHAH and i dont know nothing about football? madrid where beaten 5-0 yes, when they just had a new team, united played forever with those playes, but fuck both madrid and united, barca is WAY and WAY ahead of them both! Visca el Barca!

  • @moluksefreefighter01 hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, i feel sorry for attacking you man, cos only now i truly realise how demented beyond repai your brain is functioning at a moment. Dellusioned in the fantasy world of yours.

  • @ahchaibloodcrip dont try to talk like you're a smart guy!

  • @moluksefreefighter01 u mad kid!!! r u really mad? awww, dont be, i never took it personal against u, but if u want, u can come singapore, im GLAD to meet u at the airport. =)

  • @ahchaibloodcrip Im not mad now anymore, now i know you're gay, this is the 4th time you are showing me you're a homo, " but if you want u can come" "dicksucker" " sucking messi's dick" all gaythings, and now i know you're a gay from singapore, dont even want to imagion that, because people from singapore are SO DAMN UGLY little asian flatheads! and the fact you're a gay makes it more disgusting!

  • @moluksefreefighter01 Madrid are probably on the same level as United/Chelsea/City. You think a team such as Athletico would even make it into the top 4? there bloody 11th in La Liga, they wouldn't stand a chance. Also that is what I'm talking about, EPL is unpredictable, Newcastle are fighting to make it into the top 6, they have barely spent any money and are having a great season. Honestly, your the most biased La Liga fan i've ever spoken to.

  • @craigyt1 No madrid are on a higher level, its even proven by analists, they play a much better position play, much better pressing game, and they got more quality in the team, also they play in a higher tempo. showed that in the CL. like i said atletico has a bad form, but valencia would be 4th easily in the EPL. they even dominated chelsea in the first match. much more ballposession, more chances, and better football. the fact that newcastle are in top6, says about how bad the league is.

  • @craigyt1 No alot of EPL fans makes me hate the EPL even more. they always talk about how great and good their league is, and how poor the la liga is and bla bla bla. and that what makes the league SO overrated, i look closely at the teams, and its just average, even city and united right now! the mistakes, the slow tempo, but itsd manily because of the mistakes. a topmatch between city-united should been organised, instead of making mistake after another. la liga isn't like that!

  • @moluksefreefighter01 Get it in your head, the pressure of a La Liga and a EPL match is totally different, football is played faster in the EPL. You don't get the time to pass it around like in La Liga, which is why managers resort to playing long-balls, counter attack etc Newcastle are a good side, they just show that you don't need to spend millions to finish in the top half of the table, just like Barca. So you just admitted you have a grudge on the EPL, and your biased.

  • @craigyt1 No EPL is not faster, the players run faster, the ball doesn't go faster. you dicate the tempo if you have the ball. you dont get the time to pass? thats because the english teams doesn't pass and move, unlike the la liga teams, if you pass and move quickly with a good position play, you will dominate physical teams. and LOL newcastle is not a good side! maybe 2/3 decent players, the rest is shit.

  • @craigyt1 i just cant believe this! barca need millions to finish first? while 80% of the starting 11 is from the own youth? the keyplayers are from the own youth? messi who scored the goals, and made the assists, came from the la masia! WTF are you talking about? even without money we would be number 1 EASILY. seriously? 80% are la masia players, what is you're point? valencia DOMINATED chelsea in the first leg, valencia are broke, chelsea multimillionairs! says it all!

  • @moluksefreefighter01 I give up on you dude, your one complete cunt who thinks he knows it all. La Liga will always be in the premier leagues shadow, it's not even worth comparing. As I see it there is only Madrid and Barca, the rest are all shit. In EPL we have United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool. Barca are the best team in the world. Madrid are on the same wave length as United. End of, also Gerrard pisses all over Xavi.

  • @craigyt1 You're done, and still saying La liga will always be in the EPL's shadows? im done too, and this is just 2 oppinions about a league, i prefer la liga, you the EPL, i love passing football, you love physical type of football.

  • @craigyt1 madrid are far superior to united,madrid would have walked the ucl group that united got,united couldnt even make it out lol

  • @barcakid101 No I don't think Real Madrid are far superior to United but they are better, they have there flaws just like all of the big spenders, this is why Barca are the best because most of there team is from the same nation and they are all good friends and get along well. That is exactly what Kenny Dalglish is trying to do at Liverpool with the signings of Downing, Carroll, Henderson if you understand what I mean. Madrid may be better but not superior.

  • @craigyt1 better but not superior hmm

  • @craigyt1 You're the cunt. Spurs played last preseason w/ mostly first teamers against Barca's mostly youth players who just got finished playing in the Spanish 3rd division. Barca's kids passed circles against Spurs. You can name a bunch of EPL teams, in the end it's the same teams that win titles. More teams have won La Liga in the last 20 years than the EPL. lol@Gerrard. That's why every time England plays Spain they have to play the same way a 3rd division team plays against Barca.

  • @craigyt1

    Yeah that's why players from those other crappy La Liga teams who couldn't beat Barca/Madrid are dominating the EPL, Aguero, David Silva, Mata. Oh yeah and Yaya Toure who couldn't crack Barca's first XI consistently. I just named 4 of the top 10-15 players in EPL. You're completely devoid of logic. If you put Barca in the EPL and they dominate with a 10 point lead does that suddenly make the EPL weak?

  • @craigyt1 spurs has a solid midfield, decent forwards, but an amateur defence, the reason theyre at the top, shows how poor the EPL is. seriously, a team like united cant lose to newcastle without being the better team.

  • @craigyt1 who wants to see 3 6ft2 midfielders who can tackle and win challlenges, but have problems with passing the ball to a teammate? who wants to see midfielders that cannot even control a ball? good football starts in the back, in the EPL the back 4 are always lumberjacks who can tackle and defend, but have no ball playing quality's at all, no one wants to see that shitty type of football.

  • Pffff gerard haha i still have a laugh right now, most overrated english player ever, and they have ALOT.

  • What if you combined Xavi, Scholes, and Zidane...

  • never will there be another xavi, like xavi hernandez

  • gerrard is the most overrated player .its blasfemi even to mention him in same sentence as xavi. its a disgrace

  • Lol go and watch /watch?v=mUcgK_4J26Q theres some Gerrard assists, for anyone who says Gerrard doesn't have the vision what Xavi has is a lier, he actually makes Xavi look average.

  • @craigyt1 gerrard makes xavi look avarage? even libverppol fans will laugh at u. u are a waste of space.. go watch som basketball idiot

  • What if I told you, you could become a significantly better Footballer in 2 weeks? Would you be interested? Give this comment a quick thumbs up, visit my channel and let’s get started on your training right away.

  • Comment removed

  • 4 world cup titles! england=1.

    Please don´t compare engalnd/cambridge with Italy, please.

    Scholes is overrated as hell!

  • I love Xavi, he is world class but those of you saying he's the best midfielding on the planet are wrong. Gerrard is miles ahead, more goals, more assists and both are around the same age.

  • @craigyt1 You could not be more wrong - look at the overall play rather than just facts about each player. Gerrard has the easier final passes to make as he plays further forward than Xavi on the pitch, and Xavi is far more consistent in terms of possession keeping and the accuracy of his passes. It is Leo Messi's, David Villa's, Iniesta's and Thiago's job to play the very final ball for the assist, not Xavi's.

    He is simply the mastermind behind the structure of the play.

  • @TheAsianWorm

    Overall play? Gerrard can play anywhere in midfield which is another reason he is better. He has the vision which Xavi posseses. And Xavi is a "playmaker" so it is his job to assist the goalscorers.

  • @craigyt1 I'm talking about when you look at where both of them actually play in matches, Gerrard plays further forward. But besides, they are both world-class as you said, it is my opinion that Xavi is the better player in terms of consistency - the team he plays in restricts certain records.

    Peace

  • @TheAsianWorm

    Fair enough, we both have different opinions, Xavi sits in Central Mid most of the time, so he specialises there. Gerrard can play numerous positions in Midfield, mostly attacking midfield. But for me, not just because I'm a Liverpool fan I'd rather have Gerrard than Xavi. But then again if your a Barca fan you'd probably feel the same way about Xavi.

  • @craigyt1 are u not Ashamed little pl fanboy? how can u comepaer an ordinary gerrard to a player who has shown his cfass not only in la liga and champions league, but also world cup and european cup. what has gerrard won beside from a lucky cl where he dived to get a penalty against milan?. english players lacks vision and skills to be comepared to xavi. xavi is the brain of barca wolrds best team and the engine of spain. he was chosen the bets player in euro 2008 when he lead spain to glory!!!

  • @craigyt1 i am not finnished with u; gerrard was not even the best midfielder in liverpool. the main man was xabi alonso. look what happened to liverpool after alonsos departure.. what has gerrard gained ion his career to be even comepared to a legend like xavi?.. xavi has owned uniteds and real amdrids midfield in years and u say gerrard is better.. mothafucking idiot..

  • @22Brasco

    Gerrard has been injured on and off since 2010. Alonso was world class also. But mate I think the statistics speak for themselves. More goals + Assists means more effective. Thats a fact. Gerrard plays well with any team. Xavi has been playing with Iniest plus Messi for years. They know eachother so well. I'm not saying he is shit or anything but I'm just disapproving someones opinion, "English players lack vision" racist much little La Liga ass kisser?

  • @craigyt1 " gerrard plays good with anything" ok, how many teams gerrard has played for beside liverpool? how he play for national team? ansolutely terriable.. xavi will be remembered as the ebst playmaker in history. who the fuck is gerrard???

  • @magicn97

    LOL whatever you idiot. Gerrard has played for Liverpool for 13 years, he's played with some of the worst Liverpool squads of the past 30 years. Gerrard is better than Xavi statistically, thats a fact.

  • @craigyt1 if you think gerrard is better than xavi,then go get the fuck out of here and and go watch gerrard videos.

  • @estarios

    I admire Xavi you fucking idiot. He's world class, but some people saying he is the best playmaker ever, it's simply not true. Even Lampard is better than him statistically. Not to mention Xavi is playing in La Liga, where the defensive players can't even defend.

  • @craigyt1 It's not all about goal or assist statistics. Hell, Özil would be considered better than Iniesta if that was the case. Many English people tend to overrate their players, such as Lampard, Scholes and Gerrard, based on statistics - as evident in many comments on youtube. I'm glad there are other people who aren't as ignorant. Thanks IFFHS for voting Xavi The World's best Playmaker for the 4th time.

  • @kurten22

    Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes are all overrated, hows that? just because they're contributing for there team. If anyone is overrated it is Mr Xavi. Xavi is a playmaker, his keyrole is to provide for the forwards. Maybe he shouldn't be labelled as a playmaker, may just a long passer, who posseses vision.

  • Comment removed

  • @craigyt1

    They are overrated, because they are often compared to the very best and most talented players in the world. Don't get me wrong, those three are very good players, but English people often overrate their best players and make strange comparisons, when they really shouldn't. It's the same situation with Ronaldo and Messi. Some people claim he's better because he is more "complete" compared to Messi.But they forget that Messi is the better player, because he..

  • @craigyt1.. is much more dominant in some specific areas than Ronaldo. The same can be said about Xavi. When you talk about vision in tight spaces and under huge pressure, Xavi is superior. Then you add the assistson, passing, technique/ball control, controlling the flow of the game, keeping possessi and goals, and you see why Xavi is the better player. I'm not expecting you to understand, cause you sound like the usual narrow-minded English supporter, but I'm glad..

  • @kurten22

    Also Xavi only plays so good because he is in a team full of some of the best players in the world. Gerrard has carried Liverpool through the years, we've never exactly had a world class team in the past 13-14 years. The closest was in 09 when we had Alonso, Mascherano and Torres. That is one of the main reasons I think Xavi stands out more.

  • @craigyt1 can u stop commenting in xavis video. u english son of a bitch.. go comment gerrards videos.. xavi would be betetr than diving gerrard if he played with one leg.. who the fuck is gerrard comepared to a legend.. gerrard has only one lucky cl medal. xavi has evrything. gerarrd was like a headless chiken in world cup with england while xavi was magical for spain. xavi chosen the ebst player in europ 2008. u know that english players are overarted by english media. 

  • @22Brasco

    Facts are facts buddy, Gerrard is the better player.

  • @craigyt1 fact?? is that therfor xavi always candidate for ballon dor? u son of a whore

  • @22Brasco

    Because like I said, he stands out at Barca becaues he is playing with a team of world class players. Gerrard isn't.

  • @craigyt1 Are you serious? In wich way is gerard a better player? because he works his but off? because he scores long rang goals from time to time? because hes a leader? gerard is nothing but a typical english worker, who hasn't got any exceptional quality's, Only xavi's gamereading and vison should be enough to be a better player than gerard, gerard is known for his work rate, but xavi made the most meters in the last world cup! thats smartness (xavi)Vs dumb runner with workrate(gerard)

  • @craigyt1 i feel sorry for you, because the fact you think gerard is the better player, shows you never saw the real beauty of football. Even gerard himself knows hes not upthere with xavi.

  • @craigyt1 What facts? There are no facts favoring Gerrard, fool. Xavi has more trophies, both team trophies and individual throphies. And that's both in terms of quantity and quality. He's been named the top 3 player in the world for two years now. Gerrard will never come close to winning the Golden Ball or anything like that. Don't make a fool out of yourself anymore.

  • @craigyt1 many non-English people, FIFA, UEFA and so on can.

  • Xavi= The Smartest footballplayer Ever along with Zidane and Pirlo!

    Thumps UP if you agree!:)

  • @svedesemilanese no scholes? fail.

  • @Claymore2408 Hahahahaha Scholes?? xD You'r joking, right?;o

    My advice to you Mr claymore is that you going back to cambridge and eat some fish&chips with your english friends and stay away from football, thanks.

  • @svedesemilanese P.S We invented football and we're average at it to (national level) not to mention one of the best leagues in the world. What does your country have? lol telling me to stay away from football.

  • @svedesemilanese lol what? Why are you being so hostile? You're still a child you inbred. lol anyways xavi and zidane both said Scholes is the best midfielder they've seen. P.S I've been watching football since early 90s so of course i'll know more than you. Oh btw Cambridge isn't a bad place, it's SURELY better than the 3rd world piece of shit you're from.

  • THUMBS UP IF XAVI SHOULD WIN BALLOON DOR 2011!

  • @spacely989 2012

  • he would have easily been the best player in the world if he was in some other generation of footballers......hmmm.....why messi why?!

  • He is my idol

  • T'estimem Xavi.

    Xavi per sempre.

  • look at 0:09 do you see the ref? the crazy thing is Xavi sees him as well thats the vission that he possess.

  • yes i do agree iniesta is a bit overrated .. he cn dribble pretty well , he cn worm himself out of traffic , nd one of the best things he does is playing a good pass while he is in traffic but xavi though is on another level , he is a dictator of games !!!

  • I WISH ALL HIS SKILL ARE TRANSFER TO ME

  • Does this song have a name? I LOVE IT! :)

  • @pip1988 schiller - beach music

  • am i the only one who thinks he's HOT?!

  • Maestro del futbol, cuando el funciona el Barca es invencible, el mejor centrocampista del mundo con diferencia, GRANDE XAVI !!!

  • fucking overrated

    he lacks skills and too slowly

    barcelona media

    messi is the best followed by ronaldo then neymar

  • @Xpl0dable Haha? I'm an Inter fan, but come on, he's overrated. And isn't your precious NEYMAR overrated?

  • @Xpl0dable he lacks skills??what do you think constitutes skill?no player in the owrld has the technical and passing SKILLS he has.ball control, spacial awareness, periphal vision these are all types of SKILLS in which xavi excels in like no other.you can do all the freestyle tricks and run 100m in 5secs for all i care i and most people would rather have what xavi has

  • The best !!!!

  • Messi - Ronaldo = Xavi

  • Comment removed

  • @WipeOut180 Lol Messi minus Ronaldo...thats either bad or good for Xavi....

  • Xavi is the best player in the world!!!!

  • tuyet voi Xavi.......

  • xavi = ball's bestfriend.

  • xavi the milfielder's king.

  • Rant all you want about Barcelona, but may the God have mercy on you if you say anything negative about the great Xavi Hernandez.

  • Legendary midfielder.

  • este tio tiene la culpa de que españa ganara eurocopa y mundial

  • THE KEY TO MESSI BEING SUCCESSFULL , hes much better then messi ..... he deserves so much more credit.....

  • @arnorsson Dont talk rubbish! Xavi gets all the credit he deserves! He is the mainman in the tiki-taka yes, But messi is the one who decides the matches! he is the one who can score goals out of nothing, Messi is without xavi and iniesta still the best player in this world right now! His qualitys says enough! Xavi is important for messi yes, But not for messi being this good! thats all because of messi himself, or you think xavi thinks for him? No ITS ALL MESSI!

  • xavi and his through balls

  • xavi ,the best in the world for me..

  • Xavi ,Riquelme ,Pirlo the best midfielders of the century

  • El segundo mejor jugador del mundo.!

  • best of player

  • Everyone thinks "Messi" when they hear Barcelona. But Xavi is one of the most underrated players! He deserves SO much more credit than he really gets. Seriously, he makes plays and really fights for his team. When I hear the word Barca, I think "Xavi" not Messi. Yes, Messi is a great player, but Xavi is kind of like Barca's glue that holds them together!

  • I personally believe Xavi is better than Zidane.

  • @bigdunk9 zidane scored in world cup finals

    and carried the franch team on his back dont talk rubbish!

  • @Xpl0dable haha so? Xavi has ruled games for nearly a decade, his ability to see a killer pass is absolutely incredible. Xavi is the spine of Barcelona, and their squad now is arguably the best squad football has ever seen.

  • @bigdunk9 best squad of football?

    gotta be kidding right? or u'r a barca fan.

    just look to holland 1974,brazil 1982 and 1970

  • @Xpl0dable club squad* and nope i'm not haha, i just appreciate the game

  • @Xpl0dable Ive seen those squads, And the Milan 88 ajax 1995 too, but this barca is JUST THE BEST. They play a HIGHER tempo than any team has played, and they keep posession like no team ever could. Their position play makes them the best squad ever! but i have to say ajax 1995 came very close! but the tempo of this barca is so fast.

  • Definitly the best midfielder at this very moment .. he should win best player of the year and actually almost all years hes been playing. Yet it looks like strikers are more important.

  • Xavi looks like a Greek guy.

  • @ReptilianSobe how does greek guys look like

  • @sjurinho i can answer that, Greek guys look tan with dark hair. not all but the majority yes. xD

  • @BrasilenoJiuJitsu :P :P :P

  • @sjurinho And are they mostly broke or rich?

  • @sjurinho he also looks like robert downey junior 

  • @BrasilenoJiuJitsu tan with dark hair are persians not greek.

  • @BrasilenoJiuJitsu same as mexicans :P
