Xavi was a world class player earlier too but his qualities became much more emphasized under Pep.
So before being coached by Pep how was Xavi regarded?

Pirlo was regarded higher, while Seedorf was more regarded than Pirlo back then. Barca were having ups and downs during that period, including 2007/08. The season Barca won the double (2005/06), Xavi got an injury and missed out from the quarterfinals onwards, while Milan were flying in Europe that period.
Pirlo never got to the heights Xavi reached though.
