Xavi Hernandez has taken advantage of the World Cup break in Qatar to travel to the country where he ended his playing career and began his time on the bench to enjoy football's most prestigious international competition as a spectator. The Barça coach has undergone a FIFA test from Doha in which he has highlighted the players he has liked the most at the start of the World Cup.

Xavi considered that, so far, Richarlison has been the best finisher, Pedri and Musiala the "most talented" players, France's Upamecano and Konaté the most outstanding centre-backs and Jordi Alba the most powerful full-back. The coach also praised Madrid's Thibaut Courtois as the most inspired goalkeeper in goal.
