Football's greatest ever no.10 and no.7

#4 Andres Iniesta (Barcelona)

FC Barcelona v Celtic FC - UEFA Champions League
Iniesta gave a new meaning to the word 'playmaking'

Arguably the greatest playmaker of the 21st century, the Spaniard is one of the crowning jewel of Barcelona football. The Spanish World Cup winner has played 427 La Liga games so far, ever since his senior debut in 2002.

A product of Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy, Iniesta is known for his all-round abilities. His ball control, passing, and vision are his greatest strengths. Pep Guardiola turned him into a world-class midfielder and the 33-year-old has done wonders at Camp Nou.

Iniesta has won 8 La Liga titles, 5 Copa del Rey titles, 4 UEFA Champions League titles, and 3 FIFA Club World Cup titles with the Catalan giants. He started his career with jersey no.34, but has worn the no.8 for the past 11 seasons.
