Because i'm in love with Xavi Hernandez ♥

Football is Barça and Barça is my life

“Neither the trophies nor the statistics tell the full story of the magic. The game, ultimately, is about the ball and the ball is a part of Xavi’s right foot. What he has done with it over the last 17 years for Barcelona has been magical – slashes of colour, movement and operatic thrall which embody the elements which have made football the greatest sport. Once I asked his team-mate Daniel Alves what it was that allowed Xavi to play with such mastery. Without missing a beat Alves told me: “You and me, we live on the same planet. But Xavi … he’s from another world.” Amen to that.”  Graham Hunter

” You pressure, you want possession, you want to attack. 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. ” (insp)

“   Xavi is a player who has the Barcelona DNA : someone who has the taste for good football, someone who is humble and someone who has loyalty to this club. From the first moment I saw him play, I knew he would become the brain behind Barcelona for many years to come. He plays very, very well.. much better than I ever played even when I was at my best .“ Pep Guardiola .

I like to wake up and know that I will smell the grass, hear the ball ticking: that’s my life.

“For me, Barca is unconditional. Let’s just say that I’m playing at Arsenal, at Manchester, at Bayern Munich. I’d constantly be asking myself, ‘What’s happening at Barca?’ I’d be paying attention to what’s going on, who’s playing, what they are doing, how they are doing … I feel Barca. That’s the great difference from the people who don’t feel it. I love this club, I love it. I always say that I will never leave Barca until my career ends. I won’t go. I won’t go. I’m happy at Barca. Barca, I love it, I feel like it’s mine. For me it’s unconditional. No loans, no offers.” - Xavi (2011)

Now this quote hurts so much. Gracias maestro, for everything you did for this club and your beautifcful football, nothing will be the same without you, we will miss you a lot. Good luck in this new chapter and hope to see you soon. Visca Barça, Visca Xavi!

I will never forget the first time I saw him play and how it was football love at first sight. Then I got to know him a little better through interviews and loved him as the person he seems to be. I’m going to miss him so much!
