Xavi Hernandes: The Pass Master makes it a perfect 100

Xavi makes history by completing 96 passes out of 96 (yes, that's 100%!)

It wasn't a perfect team performance from Barcelona, but Xavi enjoyed an remarkable evening: completing a staggering 100 per cent of his 96 passes in the match with Paris St Germain. 

Unblemished record: Xavi found an team-mate with every pass against Paris St Germain

Many will point to the introduction of talisman Lionel Messi midway through the second-half as the key to the club's much-improved fortunes, but it was Xavi who produced an immaculate midfield masterclass.

All smiles: Xavi savours success at the Nou Camp with team-mate Andres Iniesta

The Spaniard, 33, came close to opening the scoring just minutes into the match with a deft free-kick which brushed the side netting - many in the stadium believed he had scored. 
He played the full 90 minutes of the match and found a team-mate with each of his passes - a feat matched by others in the last 10 years - but no one has managed it on such a scale.
Xavi's efforts topped the 100 per cent performance from Javier Zanetti against Tottenham three years ago and Arsenal cult hero Emmanuel Eboue is third on the list.
But while the Spaniard managed nearly 100 completed passes, Zanetti and Eboue made 72 and 54 successful passes respectively in their matches.  
It's understandable a player of Cristiano Ronaldo's ability should feature on the list, but, remarkably, so does Chelsea defender John Terry for his impeccable performance against Werder Bremen in the 2008 competition.
