Xavi has retired from international football after winning the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain.
The 34-year-old was capped 133 times, more than any other Spanish outfield player, while Vicente del Bosque admits the national side will struggle to find a replacement for the Barcelona midfielder.
"We have lost a unique player in the national team and it will be difficult to find another one like him,” said the 63-year-old.
"Xavi has been key in Spain's style and in all the success achieved. We'll miss him so much on and off the pitch."
