It's not really a highlight, it's all of his touches from 2 games, mostly the second one. The guy regularly completes more passes than the entire opposing team. Xavi basically runs the game for the Spain team that won the last world cup and euros, and the Barcelona team that might be the best ever.
So yea, no particular pass is mind blowing, the totality of doing something so much better than anybody else, anybody ever really, at the highest possible level, with no mistakes is, I say.
I do get that it's kind of dull, but it's interesting and impressive in context.
Also, clips like that are made for and by nerds like me, more than the general public.
