#4 World Cup Winner
Iniesta's place as one of the best players in the world had been cemented with his presence in Spain's Euro 2008 winning team, breaking the country's 44-year international silverware drought, and Barcelona's 2008/09 treble.
Trending
The winning continued throughout the 2009/10 season at club level, before making history when he scored the goal that sealed Spain's first ever World Cup title.
An infamously physical match between La Roja and the Netherlands in Johannesburg was goal-less for 116 minutes until Iniesta popped up with a cool finish to win the World Cup. He was so phenomenal that year that a lot of football pundits speculated the first neither-Messi-nor-Ronaldo winner of the Ballon d'Or, in him that year, which, unfortunately, didn't happen.
