Pirlo was not only a leader in the second coming if AC Milan as a super club, but he was also a leader in the Italy team that won 2006. Xavi, while already seen as talented by many players, was not nearly as a focal point to both Spain and Barca yet. Xavi post 2008 got all the credit as a leader and the brain behind the Spain that beat everything and the Barcelona that won everything.
