Juan Antonio Pizzi lavishes praise on Xavi

By , Football Editor
Valencia boss Juan Antonio Pizzi says that it "is an injustice" that Barcelona midfielder Xavi has never won the Ballon d'Or.

Valencia boss Juan Antonio Pizzi has claimed that it "is an injustice" that Barcelona midfielder Xavi has never won the Ballon d'Or.

Xavi's teammate Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo have shared the award in recent years, but Pizzi believes that Xavi should have been recognised in the same manner.

"That Xavi doesn't have a Golden Ball at home is an injustice," he told reporters.

Xavi has been widely linked with a move away from the Camp Nou at the end of the season.
