Yes, I totally thought that too. Xavi is my spirit animal.

Even in the Italy game they seemed completely knackered (let's face it, if Sese had really tried that ball would on the moon right now), and then to play the hosts at home. I'm not panicking that it's end of an era or anything. Just can see that clearly they need to rest and regroup and rotate (at a club level as much as internationals).

Oh well, at least we know what Neymar can do to Madridistas; that's reassuring for next season.
