Backing him up in central midfield, Pape Matar Sarr and Archie, who, as always, just went about his business with no fuss, such a vital cog in Thomas Frank’s 3-4-3 system.
Speaking to us about Xavi at DB Park, Archie said: “He’s a joy, we just see each other and you know, I trust everyone so much, but when I give the ball to him, I know he’ll trust me back just as much.
“We try to get those link-ups, one-touch, two-touch passes. He’s a pleasure to play with getting in those spaces, so difficult to pick up and for centre-backs to try and track him. It must be horrible for them!”
