Steven Gerrard has hailed Barcelona's decision to appoint Xavi as their new head coach back in November as a 'masterstroke'.
The La Liga giants were on a dismal run of form prior to the arrival of their club legend, having won just four of their opening 13 league matches and lacking any kind of identity on the pitch.
Barcelona have since experienced a dramatic turnaround during Xavi's reign and have now lost just one of their previous 16 top-flight encounters as well as being firm favourites to win the Europa League.
