Xavi shows he's still got his skills in video challenge for charity

Still plugging away at Qatari side Al Sadd at the grand old age of 36 after a stellar career in Spain, you could be forgiven for thinking that Xavi Hernandez's once-mighty powers might be on the wane.

However, video evidence has emerged to suggest that the veteran midfielder still very much possesses the necessary skills to pay the bills.

As part of his ambassadorial work for Generation Amazing (a project dedicated to using football to aid vulnerable people in Qatar and the Middle East), the former Barcelona captain was issued with a series of skill challenges.

Turns out, he's still rather good at this football malarkey.

Faced with the holy trinity -- keepy-uppies, the crossbar challenge and scoring direct from the corner spot -- and Xavi goes and produces a clean sweep with not so much as a hair out of place. It's an impressive display reminding us that the greats will always remain great no matter what their age.

Long may he reign!
