If footballers had their own entry music

7. Andres Iniesta – Glasgow Kiss by John Petrucci (Suspended Animation, 2005)

Iniesta is undoubtedly the most pleasing player to grace the football pitch in the last decade. His first touch, adroitness of movement, pure quality of passing and dribbling skills are second to none. Routinely, he conjures up moments on the biggest stages that only he is capable of.

Football fans are lucky to be able to enjoy his class over such a long period of time, and one can only hope that he continues in the same vein till the time he decides to get out for good.

Often, superlatives have fallen short of describing the aesthetic pleasure of watching an Iniesta goal, which is why it would be best to use an instrumental. And this is one of Petrucci’s very best works – the Jesus of the guitar world himself has an astonishingly wide range of music masterpieces. The main lead chorus of this song serves almost as a ballad.
