Rather than relying on goalscoring numbers, the Spaniard built his reputation on precise passing, awareness and the ability to control the rhythm of a match. He was a central figure in Spain's historic run of three consecutive major international tournament victories: UEFA Euro 2008, the 2010 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2012.

Under Tito Vilanova, who had taken over from Pep Guardiola in the summer of 2012, Barcelona continued to dominate Spanish football with their possession based style built around the academy graduates from La Masia. The midfield trio of Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Sergio Busquets remained the strongest part of the team, while Lionel Messi was producing the most prolific goalscoring seasons of his career. Barcelona played their home matches at Camp Nou, the largest football stadium in Europe with a capacity of almost 100.000, and finished the season by winning their 22nd LaLiga title. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2012\/13 season saw Barcelona collect 100 points in LaLiga, becoming only the first Spanish club alongside Real Madrid to reach that total. They won 32 of their 38 league matches, scored 115 goals and finished 15 points ahead of second placed Real Madrid. Barcelona also reached the semi finals of the UEFA Champions League, where they were beaten 7-0 on aggregate by Bayern Munich, while their Copa del Rey campaign ended in the semi finals against Real. Xavi made 45 appearances in all competitions during the season, scoring 7 goals and providing 11 assists.

This Barca 2012\/13 away shirt is available in size large (L) and excellent condition. The only flaw is a tiny pen dot on the upper left of the shirt.

Under first-year coach Luis Enrique, Barça won the treble, collecting LaLiga with 94 points, the Copa del Rey with a 3–1 final win over Athletic Bilbao, and the Champions League with a 3–1 win over Juventus in Berlin. The attacking trio of Messi, Suárez, and Neymar, known as the MSN, scored a combined 122 goals across all competitions that season.

On 6 June 2015, he came on as a substitute in the 78th minute of the Champions League final against Juventus in Berlin, and when the final whistle blew he lifted the trophy as club captain.
