Arguably the greatest midfield trio of all time. For the sake of argument one of them had to be replaced. Who would you replace, and who would the replacement be?

    Xavi, with Matteaus/Beckenbauer or Cruyff depending on age of busquets

    Iniesta and Buesquets are extremely technical and you’re not going to find anyone that does what they do better in that team. Xavi is decidedly less technical, but more cerebral. You could only replace him with a true total footballer.

      Xavi is decidedly less technical

      I wouldn’t say that. He wasn’t as good at dribbling, for example, but he’s one of the best passers ever TBH.

      Insane passing range and his accuracy when passing is pretty much unrivalled.
