The way I see it, Messi is the best player in history. He is the one who changes the course of games he's the best. There is no comparison in my view he's the world number one and by a margin.

More quotes by Xavi
I don't actually watch many shows. I will either watch movies or football. I enjoy to watch games in the Premier League and will also watch movies a lot as well. That is how I relax.
Xavi
In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.
Xavi
I like to read the papers. I make my living from football, and I like to know what's going on.
Xavi
I'd love to play at Wembley. It's special for Barça - and for everyone in football.
Xavi
In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen - the most complete - is SCHOLES
Xavi
I pass and I move, I help you, I look for you, I stop, I raise my head, I look and, above all, I open up the pitch...The one who has the ball, is the master of the game...Thats the school of Joan Vilà, of Albert Benaiges, of Johan Cruijff, of Pep Guardiola
Xavi
I've no regrets at all, but I still think at times that I would have loved to play in England. You live football over there it's a great culture. People respect you more it's more difficult to find respect in Spain. There is more criticism here.
Xavi
I think Barcelona and the Spanish national team have been good for soccer because there are a lot of teams that come up playing from the back : with the goalie, the defense, moving up a defender to midfield, playing attacking soccer. I think fans want to see that. They want to see beautiful soccer, a spectacle, and Barcelona does that.
Xavi
Favourite stadium? I have good memories of my CL debut at Old Trafford, spectacular atmosphere. The Theatre of Dreams, as they say.
Xavi
In football, the result is an impostor. You can do things really, really well but not win. There's something greater than the result, more lasting - a legacy.
Xavi
Maybe one small regret is that I never got to play with Paul Scholes - but I was never going to leave Barcelona and he was never going to leave Manchester United.
Xavi
Celtic, like Barcelona, are more than a football club. Our clubs are a symbol of a culture and community that has not always been made welcome in their respective countries.
Xavi
If he continues like this then I think Messi will be the best player in the history of football.
Xavi
The atmosphere generated by the fans in Celtic's stadium for our visit was the most impressive I've ever witnessed. The grounds of Liverpool and Manchester United are good and the hostile feeling of playing against Real Madrid in the Bernabeu is also excellent, but the atmosphere against Celtic was the best.
Xavi
Iniesta is easily Spain's most complete player. He has everything.
Xavi
England really is the birthplace, the heart and soul of football. If Barcelona had Liverpool's fans, or Arsenal's, or United's, we'd have won 20 Champions Leagues, hahaha!
Xavi
Some teams can't or don't pass the ball. What are you playing for? What's the point? That's not football. Combine, pass, play. That's football - for me, at least.
Xavi
To me Paul is a role model. He is the best midfielder I've seen in the last 15 or 20 years.
Xavi
In England, footballers are respected more, the game is more noble, there's less cheating. Every Spaniard who goes loves it - and comes back a better player. If I had ever left it would have been to England.
Xavi
There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.
