It has taken the footballing mind of Guardiola for myself and the majority of the footballing world to see the sheer quality of Xavi shine through. This is the team he was made for and presides over every game with an iron fist of footballing poetry that very few teams can keep up with, let alone handle. His positional awareness is flawless, his passing assisted with laser precision and his constant ability to find space on and off the ball in congested midfields whilst being at the centre of another 10 pass move is just awe-inspiring and fully validates my continued subscription to Sky Sports every month; regardless of Andy Gray.
I suppose I don't just find Xavi important for these qualities, but more for allowing the world to see how a system like this can be played, and how it can succeed consistently at the very top level. Although Messi is the spearhead of the team and without doubt the best player on the planet, would any of Barca's regeneration have been possible without Xavi?
