5 Individual performances which earned applauds from the opposition fans

#2 Andres Iniesta vs Real Madrid

Andres Iniesta's goal put the game beyond Madrid's reach

4-0. The scoreline of the El Clasico in 2014 in which Lionel Messi did 'NOT' start for Barcelona. The Argentine was named in the squad but since he was returning from injury, there were no chances being taken with his inclusion in the first 11.

To be fair, Barcelona didn't miss Leo Messi one bit but Madrid would have been glad that he wasn't present to make it any worse.

The pivot for the victory who did not make Leo's absence felt was none other than Andres Iniesta. The midfielders of Los Blancos danced to his tunes on the night. He would give the warning sign with a lobbed through ball to Sergi Roberto. In the 38th minute, he would then go on to punish Madrid for letting him dribble while picking the perfect assist for Neymar.

To cap off his brilliant night of passing, dribbling, intercepting, and everything else, he would combine with Neymar one more time. In the second half, again a result of letting him dribble too much, Iniesta passed to Neymar and received it back via a neat backheel. He would go on to smash the ball past Diego Lopez into the net to make it 3-0 at the Bernabeu.

When he handed his captain's armband over to Lionel Messi, fans with white scarfs on their necks would applaud the artistry of Andres Iniesta.
