Juan Pablo Sorin praised Xavi Hernandez and it was well-deserved. Barcelona leads La Liga, 13 points ahead of Atletico Madrid and with only 15 points left to fight for, it's only a matter of time.
The ex-Barcelona player and Argentinian international was full of praise for the Spanish side in 'Marca': "It seems Real Madrid are focused on other competitions and Atletico Madrid have reacted too late. Barcelona have shown themselves to be consistent and simply better, it doesn't surprise me that they're going to win La Liga".
Juan Pablo Sorin took a moment to highlight Xavi Hernandez's achievement: "He's one of the best. I've always said it, not just now he's succeeding as a coach, he was the player that most surprised me. The way he looked at the pitch ... the way he saw the game clearly unlike anyone else, the way he was always ahead of the action and everyone else, how he saw options that other didn't see... ".
Sorin saw in Barcelona's style of play the world champeon with Spain on the bench: "He's given Barcelona back their identity. He has a vision of the game. His DNA is Barcelona DNA through and through. He's happy with where he is and what he's made. It was a really good move to have him on the bench and he's proving it".
Finally, Juan Pablo Sorin highlighted the quality of a few names in particular: "He's got a giant in Ter Stegen and young players that can rise to a great level. He knows how to get the best out of the whole squad, as well as his forwards: Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Lewandowski... Managing a squad like that isn't easy, he's doing it very well and the results are clear".
