If you visit Rio Ferdinand's social media accounts, you'll discover him sharing a clip from Sunday's Spanish Supercopa final, in which Barcelona dismantled Real Madrid 3-1 to win Xavi's first Camp Nou trophy as a coach. The world-class former Manchester United sweeper announces, "The Xavi impact is here. I know what this feels like. Respect," adding a series of distraught, crying emojis.
He's referring to an undulating 44-pass move that included every single one of Barcelona's players while the the Blaugrana are 3-0 up with 14 minutes left.
