Xavi: league win 200
Roger Bogunyà
Xerez’s first ever league game at the Camp Nou will be one for Xavi Hernández to remember. It was the 200th league win that he has been involved in.
Xavi Hernández is synonymous with joy. FC Barcelona have won 57% of the games he has played in (200
in 349 games). The reference point of the Barça midfield is the brains behind the team that has
made history.
13 years in the first team
Xavi Hernández is in his 13th season with the Barça first team,
having made his debut on October 13, 1998 in Valencia (1-3). Since then, he has played 349 games
and scored 34 goals. And his presence has coincided with the most successful period ever in FC
Barcelona history.
Topped by nobody
No Barça player has ever enjoyed as many wins as Xavi Hernández. He is followed by Migueli
(195 wins in 391 games), Puyol (191 in 327 games) and Amor (190 in 310 games). He has also made the
second highest number of appearances for the club.
31 games this season
This Saturday’s was Xavi’s 31st league outing this season, 28 of which he has
started. The only games he has missed were Barça v Racing, Zaragoza v Barça and Barça v Osasuna. He
has scored two goals so far.
