Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
I'd love to play at Wembley. It's special for Barça - and for everyone in football.
Xavi
Image
I would loved to have played with Scholes. He plays the game the way it should be played and at his peak he was the best midfield player in the world.

Image
Like so many of the players, I started at La Masia at the age of 11. I can't ever imagine not playing for Barcelona, let alone not playing soccer for a career. I don't ever want to play anywhere else.

Image
I like to read the papers. I make my living from football, and I like to know what's going on.

Image
I liked the Paul Ince and Roy Keane partnership Manchester United had. They would have been my team had I moved to England.

In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen - the most complete - is SCHOLES

If he continues like this then I think Messi will be the best player in the history of football.

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

I’d love to be faster. Physically I’m limited, but I’ve survived by using my head.

In futsal, you see whether a player is really talented. You notice the small details in quality, class and tactical understanding.
Xavi
Image
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
Image
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.

There are two types of football - there's physical football and football talent.

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.

Favourite stadium? I have good memories of my CL debut at Old Trafford, spectacular atmosphere. The Theatre of Dreams, as they say.

To me Paul is a role model. He is the best midfielder I've seen in the last 15 or 20 years.

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.
