Barcelona midfielder Xavi has no doubts Lionel Messi would be a superstar in the Premier League. Indeed, he feels the Argentine would be an even bigger hit in the Premier League than he has been in La Liga.
He told BBC Sport: "I think he'd be even better in the Premier League because it is not so defensive.
"When defending against Barcelona, they [English clubs] play on a 1 v 1 basis, defending with passion, and a lot of energy.
"But Leo would find more spaces than in La Liga."
