I admit I got a bit misty eyed when he came on. While the world's been tieing itself in knots trying to decide whether Ronaldo or Messi is better (correct answer obviously being Messi), Xavi quietly established himself as almost certainly Spain's greatest ever player and surely the best playmaker of his generation (including Pirlo), maybe ever. And to think he led Spain to back to back UEFA trophies and a WC, all without Messi. Astonishing player. I feel genuinely privileged to one day be able to tell kids who never saw him that I was watching football during the Xavi era.
