Greatest European Championship XI of all time

24 teams will be fighting it out for the Euros in 2016

Andres Iniesta (Left midfield)

Iniesta was crucial to Spain’s 2008 and 2012 triumphs

The diminutive Catalan midfielder has been pulling the strings for Spain since 2006. Forming an irreplaceable part of the Spanish midfield alongside Xavi Hernandez, Iniesta dazzled on the Euro stage with his nimble footwork, passing and vision.

He played a vital role in the Spain’s Euro 2008 triumph, forcing defences into submission with his incisive passing and darting runs. Iniesta was named in the team of the tournament for his elegantly ruthless displays against Euro opposition.

Spain came into Euro 2012 looking to defend the crown they won 4 years earlier. Iniesta took the tournament by storm, winning three man-of-the-match awards with one of them coming for his performance against Italy in the finals.
