10 greatest La Liga players of all time

#5 Andres Iniesta

The diminutive Spaniard has been astonishing the footballing world since 2005 and there are no signs of him slowing down. A true gem in the crown of the Barcelona midfield, Iniesta almost has a telepathic understanding of his team mates’ positions. Always setting up goals or scoring crucial ones, Iniesta is truly a big match player. Much like other Barcelona youth products such as Guardiola and Xavi.

Iniesta relies on exceptional creative passing, intuition and inventiveness to control the midfield and dictate the ebb and flow of play. He has won 29 trophies in his stellar career making him the most successful Spanish player of all time.

The Spaniard has starred in the Champions League and on the national stage for Spain, but, his impact and excellence in La Liga cannot be discounted as well. The Barcelona captain has won an astonishing 8 La Liga titles and has often been the brains behind Barcelona’s amazing midfield.

At 32, Iniesta still has the capability to add a couple more La Liga titles to his burgeoning trophy cabinet.
