XAVI Hernández

(25/01/1980)

Xavi Hernández has now played more league matches for Barcelona than anyone else and also won more trophies – 20 and counting – with the Catalan giants than anyone else before him. Time is showing no sign of affecting this midfield dynamo, who still makes Barcelona and Spain tick by pulling the strings from the centre of the pitch to bring his team-mates into the best possible positions. Although he picked up his fair share of knocks along the way in 2012, he still shone in all of his teams’ major games, not least in the final of EURO 2012 with two crucial assists.
