With 'El Clasico' arriving soon (in 7 days) , Xavi Hernandez spoke about numerous Barcelona topics to 'The New Arab' : "Messi is the best in the world. In football , speed and intelligence are really important. Cristiano Ronaldo is in a great physical shape and is quick but Messi combines both incredibly well. In few words, Leo is the best ".
Real Madrid vs Barcelona? : "'El Clasico' is the most emotional game of the season and of a player's entire career. For me the two best games were the 5-0 game at the Camp Nou and the 6-2 game at the Bernabeu. I played against so many great players, Ronaldo 'il Fenomeno', Figo, Raùl, Hierro, Roberto Carlos, Zidane and more recently Mesut Ozil and Cristiano Ronaldo. Out of all of these players, the two best I've ever played against were Zidane and the Brazilian Ronaldo ".
This year's Champions league winner? : "I hope Barcelona win's it again. I think they are the favorites alongside PSG and Bayern. Also, watch out for Real Madrid, they have been inconsistent in the league but this won't probably affect their CL form ".
