STAT: Xavi bids farewell to Barcelona in the least Xavi way imaginable

This is just bizarre.
Xavi ended his Barcelona career on a pretty high note. Lift the Champions League trophy to complete a historic teble isn't a bad way to bow out. He only had a 10 minute cameo in Saturday night's 3-1 win over Juventus, but it was perhaps the most un-Xavi-like 10 minutes of his storied career. The midfielder maestro has made a career out of his stellar ability to find a pass. In fact, he finished up his Catalan career with an incredible pass completion rate of 93%. Despite his reputation as pass master, Xavi failed to record a single pass in his brief appearance in the Champions League final. That's right, zilch. He didn't record one pass on the night. https://twitter.com/vinesfoot/status/607311768461963264 That's not the Xavi we all know and love. Although, I doubt he's too bothered over his lack of involvement in the match. He's had plenty of contributions to the La Liga giants during his 24 year association with the club.
