The 34-year-old Central defensive midfielder has held the pivot position and commandeered it to new technical heights and revolutions during his time as a Barcelona player. A product of La Masia, the midfielder is acknowledged by many across the footballing world to be among the greatest defensive midfielders to ever grace the beautiful game.

Moreover, even at an international stage as he accompanied Barcelona teammates David Villa, Andres Iniesta, Xavi Hernandez, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, and others, he managed to conquer continents and even the World. With the 2010 FIFA World Cup to his name alongside the 2012 UEFA Euros as well, the player’s success transcends beyond the club level.
