World Cup 2018, Portugal vs Spain: 5 key players who will decide the game

Portugal vs Spain
Group B: Portugal vs Spain

#1 Andres Iniesta

Iniets
Iniesta's experience could make a difference for Spain

Andres Iniesta is arguably the greatest midfielder in world football this century. Though the Barcelona legend is 34, he has a lot of gas left in his tank to deliver at the highest level. He was Spain’s hero in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It was his goal that separated the Netherlands and Spain in the 2010 World Cup finals.

This will be Andres Iniesta’s fourth and probably the last World Cup. He has made 10 appearances in FIFA World Cups and scored twice. Iniesta has played 126 games for the Spain national team and has won one FIFA World Cup and 2 UEFA European Championships (2008 and 2012).

He will allow Spain to dominate possession in the midfield and in the final third, and also create goal scoring opportunities. Iniesta could be the key to breaking Portugal’s experienced backline.
