Andes Iniesta made a name for himself as one of the most talented midfielders of his or any generation before him, with his brilliant technique, ball control, vision, and dribbling enabling him to effectively dictate the tempo of matches from the middle.

His almost telepathic midfield combination with Xavi at the height of their powers for both club and country is considered as the greatest of all time and it came as no surprise that both Spain and Barcelona enjoyed their most productive eras in this period.

Having honed his developmental abilities at La Masia, Iniesta was handed his first-team debut in 2002 and after initially drifting in and out of the side, he eventually became a mainstay.

A total of 33 trophies were won in the colours of Barcelona which was the club record until he was surpassed by Messi last year, while he was also part of the Spanish sides that made history by winning the World Cup in between consecutive Euros and has also won two titles with Vissel Kobe in Japan.
