Iniesta achieved multiple success with Spain and Barcelona

One of the most talented midfielders of all time, Andres Iniesta was a mainstay in the golden periods of Barcelona and the Spain national team, contributing immensely with his innate ability to dictate the tempo of a game from midfield and incisive passing.

His midfield combination with Xavi at the height of their powers for both Spain and Barcelona is considered one of the greatest of all time and was a crucial factor in the success enjoyed by both sides.

He spent 16 years in the Barcelona first team setup and won 33 titles, including nine La Liga crowns and four Champions League titles. He was also instrumental in ending Spain's 'perennial underachievers' tag and the 44-year wait for an international trophy with their EURO 2008 triumph.

The 2010 World Cup winning goal was also scored off the boot of Iniesta while he put in a man-of-the-match performance in Spain's 4-0 victory over Italy in the EURO 2012 final.

He ended his spell at Barcelona with a transfer to Vissel Kobe in Japan at the end of the just concluded season, and even though his personal accolades are not as much as his immense talents deserve due to the presence of Ronaldo and Messi, there is no denying that Iniesta is one of the greatest players of all time.
