I feel that it is hard to argue against the fact that Xavi's best five seasons were 2004/2005 2008/2009 2009/2010 2010/2011 2011/2012 So, how would you rank those seasons, and why? All in terms of Xavi's individual performance level in those seasons in your opinion.

While most teams that played against Guardiola's Barcelona sat deep and parked the bus, there were still were a few brave teams who tried to really take the game to Barcelona, pressing very high with extreme intensity and trying to keep Barcelona from getting into a stable passing rythm. When...

It's funny how the Barcelona teams from the 2008/2009 and 2010/2011 seasons, specially the latter, were probably better collectively than the Barcelona 2014/2015, yet Barcelona 2014/2015 had the most consistent, confident and controversy free UCL KO run in their title in both results and great...

How towards the end of the 2010-2011 season Pep's Barcelona were in danger of collapsing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Despite being the season in which Barcelona reached the pinnacle of their football, the 5-0 against Real Madrid being the...

Honestly, I feel like football from 2010-2015 was better technically (at least when it comes to the quality level of the top european teams and the semi-finalists in UCL) and more competitive than 2016-2020 football. I prefer the first half of the 2010s instead of the second, the games also hold...

How good was Xavi in the 2010-2011 season? The stats speak for themselves about Xavi's 2008-2009 season: 22 assists in La Liga, 7 in UCL and 1 in Copa Del Rey. Insane stats! Undisputably the best midfielder in the world that season. Countless genial passes and through balls in almost games. The...
