Xavi Hernandez's legend keeps growing. A year and a half after leaving Barcelona where he won 25 titles (8 Ligas, 3 Copas del Rey, 6 Supercopa de España, 4 Champions Leagues, 2 Supercopa de Europa and 2 Club World Cups), the former Blaugrana captain has won his first title with Al Sadd in Qatar. They beat Al Jaish 2-1 in the Qatar Cup final. That brings him to a career total of 29, including the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain.
It could yet reach 30 this season with the Emir Cup still in play. On May 5 Al Sadd face Karaitiyat in the quarter finals.
Xavi, who is still the most capped player in Barcelona history, with 767 official games, had a great season with Al Sadd who came within a point of the title, which was won by Lekhwiya. He also hit nine goals and provided 12 assists.
