But Xavi was not on the bench in the 2006 final. He was injured. Had he been fit, he would've started.

And Pep is a remarkable coach. Imagine if he had managed a side in the Premier League that won an unprecedented 6 trophies, he would have been knighted on the spot and all the English would be naming the new born children, Pep!

I too am a first time contributor.

I think Thiago is being groomed for Xavi's role.

Visca Barca!

Besides, a whole bunch of commenters there are credible bloggers themselves (such as Ramzi, Roberticus etc.) which makes the tactical discussions enjoyable
