Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets feels that team-mate Xavi Hernandez is the best player in the history of Spanish football.
Xavi has been a regular feature in the Barcelona first team since making his first team debut in 1998 and during the course of his career he has gone on to make over 750 appearances for the Catalan giants.
During his time at the Camp Nou, the 35-year-old has gone on to win seven La Liga titles, three Champions Leagues, two Spanish Cups and two Club World Cups.
Xavi has also enjoyed a distinguished career with the Spanish national team, winning the World Cup in 2010 and the European Championship in 2008 and 2012. He was at the heart of Spanish midfield that went on to win three major tournaments in succession.
And he was also the lynchpin of the Blaugrana midfield from 2008 until 2012, during Pep Guardiola’s stewardship at the club, when the side were regarded by many as the greatest club team in the history of the game.
Busquets, who has been Xavi’s midfielder partner for both Spain and Barcelona, feels that the Spaniard is the greatest player in the history of the Spanish football.
“He is the best player that Spanish football has seen”, the 26-year-old was quoted as saying by Marca.
Xavi retired from international football after Spain’s exit at the group stage from the World Cup last summer.
