Question

How is Xavi Hernandez better than Xabi Alonso...?

Answer 1

Notice how none of these Barca Fans answered which aspect of Xavi's game is better than Xabi's (better than free-kick taker, passer, goal scorer, defensive midfielder, play-maker). All they talk about is trophies.

Answer 2

quite obvious actually...Xavi was the best player in the UEFA Euro 2008, before he became really famous, Xabi Alonso was not.



Xavi was almost nominated for the Ballon D'Or in 2010, Alonso was not.



Xavi has one of the best visions in the world, Xabi Alonso only has half of his vision to be honest.



free-kick taking: both are pretty equal

Passer: Xavi is 10x better passer than Xabi Alonso is

goal scorer: equal

defensive midfielder: Alonso

playmaker: slightly Xavi



Xavi has much, much better leadership too, can easily take the role as permanent captain if they allowed him.



its quite hilarious how Madridistas try to compare their midfielders such as Guti and Xabi Alonso with Xavi but none come close, only Zidane is better than Xavi.

Answer 3

Xavi Hernandez is the best midfielder in the world now & Xabi Alonso s the best midfielder in real madrid.

Answer 4

Absolutely Xavi is better than Xabi Alonso.

Xavi- 100%

Xabi Alonso- 75%

Answer 5

If you look at their INDIVIDUAL awards, then it is pretty clear. Xavi runner up of the Ballon D'or 2009 and 2010 and Worlds best player maker award 2008,2009,2010 and in the Fifa team of the year 2008,2009,2010 plus loads more. What has Xabi Alonso won INDIVIDUALLY?

Answer 6

Hes more active in the field and he also has better leadership status

Answer 7

lol, this is getting sad, really sad, are we seriously comparing the best CM of all times to Alonso, who always fails to perform against Xavi ?



Edit: @Iker, Yes, I genuinely believe that, he is that good.

Answer 8

@Midfield Maestro.... Although they are individual awards would he have won them if he was playing his trade in Levante? ..... The team contributes much more than you think....



Best CM of all time? HAHAHAHA
