Xavi Equals Migueli Record

Jordi Clos

Xavi Hernandez has equalled Migueli’s record of 195 league victories despite playing 49 fewer matches.

The 3-0 victory against Valencia was doubly pleasing for Xavi Hernandez. On the one hand the three points were a huge morale boost for the team but in addition he equalled Migueli’s record of 195 league wins.

195 wins in 342 matches

However, Xavi has only needed 342 matches to accumulate 195 victories while the legendary defender took 391 matches. Xavi has been on the winning side in 57% of Barça’s league matches. Guillermo Amor (190) is third in the ranking of league victories but, in fact, has a better percentage record (61%). He is followed by team captain Carles Puyol, with 185 victories in 320 league matches.

The most used outfield player

Xavi is the most used outfield player in the 2009/10 season. He’s played in 25 of the 26 matches, accumulated 2,123 minutes and has only missed the game against Racing Santander in the Camp Nou (4-0). Only goalkeeper Victor Valdés has a 100% league record.
