Lots of crowing since the World Cup about the death of Tiki-Taka - all complete bullshit.

I reckon he's the midfielder who best defines the last 10 years or so.

Apart from Ryan Harley of course.

He's still bloody good compared to almost any other midfielder out there but, in his pomp, he really was incredibly close to the top of the game.

One of the greatest midfielders ever. Still has a huge part to play for Barca (should he definitely stay this year).

The best central midfielder I've ever seen play the game.

Without him, I'm not sure that either Barca or Spain would have hit quite the heights that they have done. For all the attacking flair, you need someone in the midfield who can pass the ball with metronomic precision and make things happen - Xavi has done that better than anyone, for my money.
