i find it fascinating that iniesta is 8 for barca and 6 for spain and xavi is 8 for spain and 6 for barca.

wug?

maybe they don't give a fk?

I wouldn't

they do though and its just natural from the guy who does the numbers to at least ask the players what they want and even if he didnt hed know xavi is always 6 and iniesta 8

Maybe one of them played for Spain before another and they chose these numbers at different times when they were available.

They both prefer the 8 shirt but agreed years ago that they would allow Xavi to wear 8 for the national team due to Iniesta wearing the shirt for Barca.
