Xavi is now approaching the end of a career that will go down as one of the game's greatest.

In 2015, he bid farewell to Camp Nou, deciding to see out the remainder of his playing days with Qatari side Al-Sadd. The influential Spaniard appeared at four FIFA World Cups with Spain, emerging victorious at South Africa 2010. He also played at the 1997 FIFA U-17 World Cup, the 1999 FIFA U-20 World Cup, not to mention capturing the 2008 and 2012 UEFA European Championship titles.
