#7 Andres Iniesta (Reader's rank: 2 | Sportskeeda's rank: 9)
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 and one of the greatest players of this generation.
This year, Iniesta has not been at his brilliant best and struggled with some injury and form issues, however, he is still a crucial member of the Barcelona side and the La Liga giants look completely different with him in the playing XI.
The Barcelona captain might not have had the best of years, but he is so good that he is still among the best midfielders in the game and he will be determined to top this list next year.
