Top 4 Andres Iniesta Moments in Barcelona Jersey

Real Madrid vs Barcelona, 0-4 (El Clasico, 2015-16)

Bernabeu Approves!

You know you are already a legend when Santiago Bernabeu crowd gives you a standing ovation.

That is exactly what transpired in the first El Clasico of 2015-16 season. The Catalans were already at the top of the league while Real Madrid were having a hard time under Rafa Benitez.

But with Lionel Messi on the bench due to injury, it was Madrid’s best chance to win the El Clasico and revive the season. But they had one problem – A man with the armband, Andres Iniesta!

Iniesta was on the top of his game at the Santiago Bernabeu as he toyed with both Madrid’s midfield and defence. The midfielder dragged the white shirts towards him in the 39th minute and simply chipped the ball towards Neymar for Barcelona’s second goal.

The Don Andres wasn’t done yet. In the second half, Neymar returned the favours with a beautiful back-heel for Iniesta at the edge of the box and Iniesta hammered the ball in the top right corner for the 3rd goal of the night.

Barcelona humiliated Real Madrid with a 4-0 victory and Iniesta was substituted in the 77th minute. The magician had completed 65 out of 68 passes in those 77 minutes – for an astonishing pass accuracy figure of 96%!

But then came the moment of beauty. Real Madrid fans got off their seats and applauded the magician for his show. Andres Iniesta became just the third Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation from Madrid fans after Diego Maradona and Ronaldinho. (Not a bad list to be a part of, is it?)
