#4 The many faces of Iniesta
Trending
Fans love giving players their very own nicknames, monikers that describe who they are and what they mean to the thousands of people who rejoice and repent every time they make a move on football greens. Bringing as much glory as Iniesta did to the club, the Catalonian faithful gave him the name El Ilusionista meaning the Illusionist owing to his sublime and magical passing skills.
Fans also refer to him as the ‘Anti-Galactico’ as a jibe to Real Madrid fans in the Spanish capital. Humble, unassuming and always dignified, the Catalonians and frankly pretty much every other football fan cherish him for shunning the spotlight in stark contrast to the rest of his fraternity.
