I can see both sides of the argument...
Dutch side: the ball was unsavable and Maignan isn't making the save even if Xavi isn't standing there.
French side: Xavi is clearly in the way of Maignan and directly in the path he would would have had to take to dive and save the ball.
Quote:
In situations where:
a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball; if the player moves into the way of an opponent and impedes the opponent's progress (e.g blocks the opponent) the offence should be penalised under Law 12

By the word of the law you could argue he impacted Maignan's ability to challenge for the ball.
If Maignan had tried to dive and clashed into Xavi's legs the call would have probably been clear...but I'm not sure him not diving actually prevents it being offside.
