Considered by many to be the greatest Spanish player ever, Xavi Hernandez is truly one of the best midfielders to ever play the game. The Spanish legend has won the La Liga an astonishing eight times. Having won all the trophies club competition has to offer, Xavi is arguably the best midfielder in La Liga history.

Xavi's vision, pinpoint accurate passing and world class ball control allowed him to dictate the flow of play while rarely relinquishing possession. His ability to control the play and pick out the runs of the attackers made him absolutely invaluable to the Barcelona team.

Pulling the strings in midfield, Xavi was the lynchpin in Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering Barcelona team and was the heart and soul of the famous tiki-taka system which Barcelona employed to such great effect.

Having made more than 180 assists in his stellar career at Barcelona, Xavi is definitely one of the greatest Barcelona and La Liga player of all time.
