The Catalan midfielder has been voted Player of the Year 2010-11 with more than half a million votes in a poll organised by the on-line Barça supporters community.
Xavi thanked the Barça Fans for their votes
, declaring: “I am very happy and excited to have been chosen as the best player from
amongst so the many great footballers who are my team mates. Thank you to everybody”.
More than half a million votes
Xavi Hernández received more than 500,000 votes and finished just ahead
of Messi and Iniesta. The voting has served both to give the Fans the chance to vote for their
favourite and also to get to know Xavi a little better after the community organised a series of
questions the Fans could put to the midfielder.
