The Brain of Barcelona

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They called you the brain of Barcelona While the headlines chased the goals Messi found the net, Iniesta bent the moment You kept the whole machine in control [Pre-Chorus] One glance, one touch, the pressure came You saw the space before it had a name [Chorus] Xavi, you set the pace You made the impossible feel simple Every pass put the game in place A quiet hand at the heart of it all Four Champions Leagues, eight La Liga crowns Still your name gets lost in the noise Xavi, the game turned when you moved The brain behind the brilliance and poise [Verse 2] They knew the route, they closed the angles Still the ball slipped through their hands You made a crowded pitch feel open And made the whole side understand [Pre-Chorus] No wasted touch, no hurried play You kept their best plans miles away [Chorus] Xavi, you set the pace You made the impossible feel simple Every pass put the game in place A quiet hand at the heart of it all Four Champions Leagues, eight La Liga crowns Still your name gets lost in the noise Xavi, the game turned when you moved The brain behind the brilliance and poise [Bridge] Not every legend needs the final touch Some build the moment everyone remembers You held the thread when the whole world rushed And made a team move as one together [Final Chorus] Xavi, you set the pace You made the impossible feel simple Every pass put the game in place A quiet hand at the heart of it all Four Champions Leagues, eight La Liga crowns Now let the record speak with one voice Xavi, the game turned when you moved The brain behind the brilliance and poise [Outro] They called you the brain of Barcelona And the game still bears your mark
