#2 Andres Iniesta
Arguably the best player not to win the coveted Ballon d'Or, Iniesta had been the heart of Barcelona's midfield, especially when he was part of one of the best ever teams to grace the beautiful game.
Iniesta came through the famed La Masia academy and became a regular starter for the Catalan club as his near-telepathic connection with Xavi made things happen in the middle of the park for them.
The scorer of the winning goal of Spain's World Cup triumph, he was an indispensable part of the Spanish team which became the only team to win three consecutive major trophies (two Euros and a World Cup).
After winning 30 major trophies with Barcelona, Iniesta ultimately decided to end his 22-year association with Barcelona this year as he announced his departure to Vissel Kobe in Japan.
