Top 5 Barcelona players this season

#4 Andres Iniesta

Levante v Barcelona - La Liga — Iniesta has impressed in his last season with the club

Age is just a number and that is evident if you look at Andres Iniesta's performances this season. The Spaniard has been at an amazing level, controlling the Barcelona midfield with his incredible knack and superb abilities.

The Barca legend has been one of the stand-out performers in the Barcelona squad this term, dictating play and splitting defenses wide open with his incredible vision and fantastic passing.

He has also been pivotal in moments of pressure, picking up the ball at the vital moments, holding on to it and sending killer passes into the opposition areas. His decent passing system has helped the Blaugrana to enjoy a lot of possession this season, thereby, making the team flourish with their beautiful brand of football.

Iniesta doesn't often complete 90 minutes these days, yet the Spaniard has recorded a goal and 4 assists to his name this season. He has also completed 1941 passes and 76 dribbles for the Blaugrana in both the Champions League and La Liga. However, it is his role as the anchor of Barca's midfield that has been the biggest influence of the 34-year-old this season.
