In an interview for El Pais in January, Xavi underlined the differences in the style of the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

“In Barcelona, ​​we understand football as a concept of time and space. Messi, Busquets and Iniesta are the master of this. They always know what to do when they are alone or surrounded. There are midfielders, such as Casemiro, who do not understand this, but at the same time, Busquts can not cover as Casemiro, “he explained.
