Xavi has admitted he would have liked to have played in the Premier League, adding that he would probably have chosen Manchester United over Liverpool if the opportunity had ever arisen.
The four-time Champions League winner left Barcelona in the summer to join Al-Sadd in Qatar having spent his whole career at Camp Nou. Now 35, that is likely to be his last club but Xavi admitted he would have loved to have experienced life in the Premier League, adding that his choice of side would have been one “with a great history”.
“To be honest, the Premier League is a big attraction for any player. It’s brilliant - the stadiums, the pitches, the fans and how they live football over there – it’s all incredible over there,” he told Eurosport.
“There are many great sides like Chelsea, Manchester United,Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool. If I had to select one, it would have to be a club with a great history; maybe Manchester United or Liverpool.
“I know that there are clubs who have emerged quite recently, like Manchester City for example, but United is my favourite historically-speaking,” he added.
