Favourite stadium? I have good memories of my CL debut at Old Trafford, spectacular atmosphere. The Theatre of Dreams, as they say.
XaviIf he continues like this then I think Messi will be the best player in the history of football.
XaviI'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.
XaviIn the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen โ the most complete โ is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesnโt give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.
