ACM – Xavi
Perhaps the most influential player on the best team in the world, Xavi has led Spain to triumphs at three successive major tournaments, the undoubted highlights of his 132 Spanish caps. A Catalan hero who has spent his entire club career at Barcelona, Xavi became a key man as La Roja introduced Tiki-Taka to the international stage, the diminutive schemer dominating midfield alongside clubmate Andres Iniesta and Real Madrid’s Xabi Alonso. This is likely to be Xavi’s swansong on the international stage, whilst his Barcelona career also seems to be winding down.
