The legendary Johan Cruyff calls Lionel Messi the most impressive footballer in the world, but he gave even more compliments to Xavi.
Argentinian Messi was named FIFA player of the year for the third time in a row last month, but the famous Dutchman especially appreciates 31-year-old Xavi.
"The best footballer in the world doesn't really exist, because there are many different positions," ESPN quoted Cruyff. "Of course, there are players like Messi who leave an impression. But Xavi's ball control and ability to dictate the pace of the match allow us to realize how great he is.
