Deulofeu Everton: Barcelona flop among ten notable La Masia hits and misses, including Chelsea star

8) Xavi – HIT

Perhaps the best midfielder in Barcelona’s history and one of the game’s all-time greats, Xavi typifies the kind of football drummed into players’ heads as they rise through the ranks at La Masia.
