Best of 2013: Top 5 Barcelona players

2. Andres Iniesta –

He probably has the most extra-ordinary feet in world football, he might be the greatest playmaker in world football, but every time you look at Andres Iniesta, you’ll feel modesty piercing your eyes.

To anybody who follows top-flight football or only watches the football world cup once in four years, Iniesta will be no stranger. His teammates call him a ‘magician’ and the fans regard him as a god. His world cup winning goal is still celebrated by every football loving Spaniard. But what draws more affection and attentions are his skills on the pitch.

Iniesta is considered to be the wiliest midfielder in world football and there’s a good reason to it. The way he moves the ball is no less than enchanting. His first touch is beyond belief to some. Add to that his gorgeous turn and cutting through balls. 2013 saw Iniesta rack up an impressive 24 assists and 10 goals.

Extremely humble as he is, the 29-year-old donated a hefty sum of £420,000 to save his childhood club Albacete from going bankrupt in 2011. He later donated £240,000 more to help them retain their players.
