These are the clutch moments:

Xavi:

7 goals and assists in Spain knockout matches including 3 assists in finals.

2008 Euro final vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist,
2012 Euro final vs Italy 4-0, 2 xavi assists,
2010 WC semi vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist,
2010 WC QF vs portugal 1-0 xavi assist.
2010 WC 2nd round vs Paraguay, 1-0, xavi assist


Iniesta:

Assist against Russia in 3-0 win and 1 World Cup final goal after being carried along all tournament with no contribution.
Lol. Inesta last minute goal against Chelsea in 2009 and World Cup extra time winning goal in 2010 will always, always and always be regarded higher than these stuffs you listed.

If you want to know what clutch means when it comes to assist, go and watch Inesta assist to Neyma against PSG in 2015. cheesy

There are levels to this clutch of a thing nh. Let’s be honest. grin grin

Which one be assist against Paraguay nh. grin

Iniesta only shows when Barca are utterly dominant producing the odd assist out of three goals scored. Xavi does not need to statpad in a 2 goal comfortable scoreline when Messi and co already have the game in hand.

These are the moments that count from 2nd round to semi, producing the single decisive stat in a Spain team that does not score goals unlike Messi's Barcelona, while Iniesta is doing vibes

2010 WC semi vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist,
2010 WC QF vs portugal 1-0 xavi assist.
2010 WC 2nd round vs Paraguay, 1-0, xavi assist

The goals never left him but Ronaldo’s link play as a 9 has been top in 2022. It started with a clever flick to Bruno for a goal vs Brentford in January & has been on an upwards trajectory since. ETH may consider using him as a 9 who drifts across the line like he did with Tadić. Source: PremierLeaguePanel cc: hensben

He has more game winning moments, not assisting one goal when 3 goals are scored. You busy referencing one Iniesta assist in a 5-1 aggregate scoreline against PSG, or a 3-1 win or 2-0 win in UCL final. Those are not game winning. This is game winning

2008 Euro final vs Germany 1-0, Xavi assist
2010 WC semi vs Germany 1-0, xavi assist,

You know the truth, but keep spinning. grin

When it comes to clutch moments, Xavi is no where close to Inesta. Like, the gap is just big.

This you know, this I know, this everyone knows. cheesy

Individual awards
Clutch moments
Solo achievements.

History will always rank Inesta above Xavi in those settings.

Note: I’m not a huge fan of any them to be sentimental.

It’s either you like Xavi-Inesta or you don’t like them, you can’t like one and slander one.

Both complimented each other, they both needed each other to hit the level they did.

One controls, one spices it with offensive drives.

Xavi without Inesta is “CM version of Jorginho”, receiving pass and giving back while stagnant in a place.

Inesta without Xavi is Kovacic, driving around doing nothing. Just footwork and insha Allah.

I do. Same way I fancy Iniesta, but not to compare him with killers

I looked back over Xavis career and only once from 2008 to 2014 did his midfield lose a possession battle - slightly against Madrid one time.

Please die Jogginghoe comparison that will be dominated once every 4 or 5 games.

Lol. Bant aside, I find it very disrespectful comparing Team B to Team A.

Xavi-Inesta-Busquet will always remain unmatched. cheesy

One even called them system players, which will have you questioning what Casmeiro and Modric won outside Madrid’s system. cheesy

Unless you are trolling, teamB are kids and amateurs compared to Team A. Xavi-Inesta-Busquet don’t just boss the midfield, they’ll keep stressing and humiliating you that you’ll start questioning if your team is playing with lesser players.

Stop playing please!! They’re GOATED!!

The biggest insult you'll see on the internet today. Imagine bringing those 3 urchins into a debate where Andre-Xavi-Busi is being talked about.


Team A is the God of midfield from then, now, and maybe forever.

If it’s by singling out a season or calendar year to drive agendas, then Modrić a midfielder you love shouldn’t be regarded or rated High for making worst signing and flop of the year. cheesy

That Modric flopped his first season is not disputed. But I bet he didn't have zero GA though.

I like Iniesta no doubt but he's been the luckiest footballer in history IMO. Never has one player received so much providence for so little.

And it's not a single season. Defenders who come up for corners are beating chest with him.

Inesta didn’t register G/A in a calendar year is not disputed. But I bet he didn’t make the flop of the season thou.

If we’re to talk about lucky footballers, Modrić will come first before Inesta.

Side footed banana pass and insha Allah.

If you’re to list what he did in 17/18 to win Balon D’or ahead of Ronaldo, Griezmann and Mbappe, will you list them? That’s what luck is all about.
