Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez was named as the best playmaker in the world by the International Federation for Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) on Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012.
It is the fourth time that the Spanish international has been given the award, which is chosen by experts and journalists from 81 different countries and regions.
