@CharlieAdams37 Oh best team of any genation? I dont think that you can say this is the best team ever! Real lpool bayern ajax had very good teams too! And no one can beat the galacticos---- of course they hadnt won a lot but they had the best players!
@eidojs That doesn't really explain why, with Xavi in the side for years, Barce managed to accomplish all of nothing until the emergence first of Dinho and Deco, and later Iniesta and Messi who took them to a whole different level.
Barca rely on Messi far more than they rely on anyone else. He is what takes them from "one of the best teams ever" to "probably the best team ever".
@vieires Both Ronaldinho & Messi do/did take the team to the next level. The period you refer to when Barca weren't so successful was when Xavi was still developing & maturing as a player. Their recent success has coincided with Xavi's peak years. But of course the emergence of Iniesta & Messi plus the additions of the likes of Ronaldinho, Deco, Villa, Dani Alves etc has had a lot to do with it also. Nothing changes my mind tho that Xavi is the most important piece of the Barca jigsaw.
@LorcTheBest cant really compare them. xavi is midfielder, messi is striker or winger. but i'm sure if you would place messi in xavi's position, messi is nothing. same otherwise
@mccrory12345 nothing against smaller teams in europe, go cry. when i see my team play in chl. it's not very big and rarely qualify, but when they do. they often get to meet a english team. and the ref is always on there side.
@mccrory12345 if UEFA are cheating cunts how come the referee at that game showed Abidal a red card for no reason? Stop whining because you lost you are just one of the thousands that cry on the internet because you can't accept the fact that Barcelona is by far the best team in the world these recent years. Anyone who says that Barca wins games by cheating doesn't know shit about football.
@AngelosL THANK YOU FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT. People are acting like the referee's just hand Barcelona penalties and allows them to win games... THATS BS
Barca win games because they dominate the game with great football
@JubalBed They havent thrashed chelsea since they beat them 5-0. If you bothered to watch the Chelsea - Barcelona games you'd see that Barcelona struggle against chelsea more than any other english team.
@guitarmarshy1 you're right I haven't seen a barca-chelsea match yet seems like they never get to face each other but with the shape that chelsea is in right now I wouldn't be worried if we had a match with chelsea
Xavi is the best player in the world, and is the one who makes Barca tick more than any other, including Messi. There is a reason Spain, not Argentina are International football's equivalent of Barca, and that reason is Xavi.
@eidojs to some extend I agree with you, but I believe it is the combination of Xavi and Iniesta that makes Barca click, which is also the reason Spain won the World Cup. And honestly, I think Messi has a lot more to show than his scoring role in Barca if you know what I mean (I am referring to the Copa America games where Messi was a playmaker role, even though they didnt win, I like that Messi more than the goal scoring Messi)
@19lonzi10 That's obviously true, but I do feel that Xavi is the architect of both Barcelona & Spain's play, and has by far the most influence on both sides. Never have I seen 1 player who has such an influence on each & every match he features in. Both sides will miss him enormously when he's gone, which hopefully won't be for a while yet.
@leathalassassin If Argentina could defend, they'd still not play in the style of Barca. I realise Spain have a lot of the Barca team in their line up, but Xavi is the primary reason both teams play the way the do, he is the architect.
@eidojs The only reason Xavi has such a high passing percentage is because Iniesta knows where to be. Look at Xavi before Iniesta came through and he wasn't anywhere near as good as he is now. Xavi is amazing but Iniesta is better.
@jimmyhayers Iniesta's introduction to the 1st team coincided with Xavi reaching his peak. Xavi was still maturing & developing before Iniesta came through. Both compliment each other & the ability of the rest of the team obviously helps. Nothing though will change my mind that Xavi is the main man for both club & country.
@eidojs Xavi and Pep themselves said it, Pep said to Xavi as they watched Iniesta playing at La Masia, "You may have retired me, but this kid will retire us all." Tells you everything you need to know haha!
@jimmyhayers You could call that 'modesty'. Bear in mind they said that when he was in the youth team. Iniesta has since developed into a great player in his own right, and is rightly mentioned in the same breath as Xavi & Messi. But there is good reason why Xavi generally finishes above Iniesta in polls & awards.
@eidojs No it's not... Xavi is amazing yes but I've seen Barcelona without Xavi with Thiago instead and Thert're still capable of winning games 5-0. If Messi doesn't play then they have to change their style and everything just falls apart.
@CharlieAdams37 I'm sure Barca have won comfortably without Messi too. There is no denying Messi's ability, but I've considered Xavi Barca's key man for many years now, and my opinion remains the same. It's 1 thing to beat a Sporting Gijon side comfortably without Xavi, but it's when you step up in level vs a top side like a Madrid or a Milan that Xavi's presence in the middle of the park becomes crucial, although the same could be said of Messi. Both are the best at what they do
@eidojs I agree that both are very important players and without doubt Barcelona would be a lot weaker if they didn't have Xavi playing in the big crucial games because he always rises to the occasion but I just think without Messi, Barca would be a team who play great football but don't score enough goals.
@CharlieAdams37 Fair comment. Although I wouldn't say they wouldn't score enough goals. Certainly not as many, but with the quality they have, they'd still score a lot.
@eidojs The reason, why Barca and Spain are the best in the world is, not only Xavi. Iniesta too. Xavi and Iniesta are the best middlefield. Messi would be not so good like this without them. It's like in Argentina. No Xavi & Iniesta -> No Messi.
@MrDJMU stop saying without xavi or iniesta, messi is nothing. when he imitated the goal of the century, did he need Xavi or Iniesta? i suggest you to look at videos where messi can score goals without xavi, iniesta, or anyone else before saying that he is nothing without Xavi or Iniesta.
@MrDJMU I can't deny Iniesta is a hugely talented player, and no doubt both would miss the presence of the other. But I do feel Xavi is the chief architect for both club & country & is the most crucial player for both sides. There's also no denying Messi's supreme ability individually, but he needs the service from those guy's to allow him to flourish, something he doesn't get with Argentina.
Xavi and Messi are the same, they are brothers in one team. Messi can score with Xavi pass and orchestra , but only because it is Messi, other striker won't score so often even with Xavi Assist.
For Messi, he must receive an assist from xavi and that I can't denied too.
SO, THEY ARE THE SAME, PLEASE DON'T COMPARE THEM!!!!!
@mwaka369 I'm sorry comment you like this, but what you know, someone use my account and reply your comment! it is my friend. I will replace him to send a sorry for you. Hope you forgive me and my good-for-nothing friend! :)
@Elmer727 they are different types of players, messi dribbles through his opponent, while xavi seeks out small pathways for the ball. You cant say one is better than the other. Im a fan of both :)
What's the problem with comparing players in different positions? You just have to analize who does their job better. People credit what Messi does more than what Xavi does. Plus, Xavi actually plays good in his national team.
He plays as the playmaker in his national team. Argentina would have made it further had bonehead Tevez and Higuain finished his fantastic chances better, in copa america.
@Mut1LateD Stop comparing the two, they are completely different players. That is like saying Messi is better than Valdes. Different players/positions/etc.
True, but Messi does amazing through balls all the time and has 10 assists to go with his 12 goals, so I think messi is better because he can play forward (best on planet by a mile) and mid (world class, but not as good as Xavi)
@delmago1 Again saying Messi better because he can play forward and mid is a pointless argument. Xavi plays a creative and controlling mid position, he orchestrates the Barca offensive, all of it! There is rarely a play were a goal is scorde that does not start with Xavi. He maintains the pace of the offense, he shifts it around based on need to play it wide, down the mid etc. They have completely different roles, Xavi's is way less flashy and harder to see his impact, while its still there.

No i'm actuallly 17. Obviously i'm not 9 because a 9 year old doesn't credit playmakers like Xavi. Most of you don't. I can compare any players I want. By judging who does their job better.
@Elmer727 a 9 years old can apperciat a playmaker like xavi but what the hell man , comparing a forward to a middle field ? xavi is xavi , messi is messi , there are things that messi can't do and xavi can , and there are things that xavi can't do and messi can , this is football not a world war
@Elmer727 in paasing, crossing, vision, being leader, match intelligence. Messi is better in scoring goals, doing assists and dribbling. But funny how good Barca is that there is even fight between Barca fans which fave is better :D
@Elmer727 fuckin dumbass xavi only has great passes he cant get around defenders like messi and is not even close to the rest of messi's characteristics
Ok here's something I can argue with. Xavi's job isn't to get around defenders and have Messi's characteristics. Xavi is a Playmaker and his job is like you said to make great passes and to assist his teammates. And Xavi plays good in his National Team......Messi doesn't. Messi is too dependent on his teammates.
@Elmer727 you just said xavi cant do what messi does then how is he better than messi if he is not capable of doing messi's job...and how are you gonna compare spain's squad against argentina's squad when spain is full of top class players even on the bench and argentina only has great forwards and the rest are bums thats why argentina does play good as a team but you obviously dont watch there games because messi has always played good for the national team, he's always making assist every game
Aparantly not because Xavi plays good in Spain as well. I know most of the team are his teammates at Barca but he's always played good with Spain even when he didn't have teammates at Barca on the national team
I wonder how long Xavi could play. You don't have to be fast to pass.

He maintains the pace of the offense, he shifts it around based on need to play it wide, down the mid etc. They have completely different roles, Xavi's is way less flashy and harder to see his impact, while its still there.

@Milan9Zlatan
No i'm actuallly 17. Obviously i'm not 9 because a 9 year old doesn't credit playmakers like Xavi. Most of you don't. I can compare any players I want. By judging who does their job better.

@Elmer727 a 9 years old can apperciat a playmaker like xavi but what the hell man , comparing a forward to a middle field ? xavi is xavi , messi is messi , there are things that messi can't do and xavi can , and there are things that xavi can't do and messi can , this is football not a world war

@Elmer727 messi is a goal scoring machine , xavi is a master of assisting , how could be possible that you compare ,?

@Elmer727 in paasing, crossing, vision, being leader, match intelligence. Messi is better in scoring goals, doing assists and dribbling. But funny how good Barca is that there is even fight between Barca fans which fave is better :D

@Elmer727 fuckin dumbass xavi only has great passes he cant get around defenders like messi and is not even close to the rest of messi's characteristics
gympersonaltrainer10 3 months ago
@gympersonaltrainer10
Ok here's something I can argue with. Xavi's job isn't to get around defenders and have Messi's characteristics. Xavi is a Playmaker and his job is like you said to make great passes and to assist his teammates. And Xavi plays good in his National Team......Messi doesn't. Messi is too dependent on his teammates.
Elmer727 3 months ago
@Elmer727 you just said xavi cant do what messi does then how is he better than messi if he is not capable of doing messi's job...and how are you gonna compare spain's squad against argentina's squad when spain is full of top class players even on the bench and argentina only has great forwards and the rest are bums thats why argentina does play good as a team but you obviously dont watch there games because messi has always played good for the national team, he's always making assist every game
gympersonaltrainer10 3 months ago
@Elmer727 everyone is dependent on their teammates. xavi is probably more than messi but i dont like any of them anyway. But messi is better

Aparantly not because Xavi plays good in Spain as well. I know most of the team are his teammates at Barca but he's always played good with Spain even when he didn't have teammates at Barca on the national team
