La Liga (Average: 8.4 years)

Ever since Xavi left Barcelona, the players have looked up to Andres Iniesta even though the captain’s armband is shared among a number of senior players. Iniesta is Barcelona through and through, having made his way up the ranks from La Masia to the senior team. By the time he retires, he may do so having won the most trophies in Europe.
Another La Liga legend is Xabi Prieto who has also spent his entire career at a single club – Real Sociedad. In spite of getting relegated with the club in 2008, he stayed with the club for the three years they tried to get back to the top flight. His high came in 2013 when they eventually qualified for the Champions League and one of the individual highlights of his career was a hat-trick against Real Madrid.
