Andres Iniesta

Andres Iniesta is certainly among the greatest attacking midfielders the game has ever seen. He played a major role in Barcelona and Spain’s success in the 2000s and 2010s. He was a player of great grace and passing range and awesome ball skills. His positional play was also brilliant and he created a lot of opportunities for the Barcelona forwards with his astute passing and dribbling.

Iniesta could play great one-twos, incisive through balls and quick back-heels to build up moves one after the other. Iniesta scored 57 goals in 674 matches for Barca in his 16 seasons with them and also won 4 UEFA Champions League and 9 La Liga titles for them. Iniesta also finished 3rd in the Ballon d’Or ranking in 2012.

He played for the Spanish national team in 131 matches and scored 13 goals. He also won 1 World Cup and 2 European championships with them.
