Xavi is one of the most decorated midfielders of his time. He had a hugely successful career with both Barcelona and Spain. He is regarded by many as one of the best midfielders of all time.
He has won the 2010 World Cup for Spain along with the Euro in 2008 and 2012. He was one of the architects of the golden generation of Spain. At club level, he won 8 LaLiga titles and 4 Champions League trophies with Barcelona. He has won almost every possible football tournaments with Barcelona and Spain.
