Andres Iniesta was a baller for Spain and Barcelona. What made him a joy to watch was his technical dribbling, excellent vision and an eye for goals including clutch goals for Barcelona and the winning goal for Spain in the World Cup final in South Africa. He's one of the best midfielder I've ever seen along with Modric, Kroos, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Riquelme, Xavi, Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard. Respect for the Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta.

Andres Iniesta the kind of player that is loved by all and hated by none. Iniesta has spent most of his career at Barcelona, where he played a major role in the club's success along with his midfield partners Xavi and Sergio Busquets. He is widely regarded by many in the sport as one of the most respected and best midfielders of all time, and as one of the greatest passers and playmakers in world football history. How Modric has a balón d’Or but Xavi and Iniesta don’t is a travesty of football. Modric is very good, but Xavi and Iniesta are a notch above

There is very rarely a player who can dribble half the team from midfield and give an accurate through pass that breaks lines like him in the highest levels. There were many before him like Riquleme, Bergkamp, Laudrup, Maradona, Zidane and so on but most people who can dribble are now wingers mostly. Pedri, Bellingham, Musiala being one of the few who can but still reaching Iniesta's levels of perfection is tough. Secondly, the man went through most of his struggles in silence and never bitched about them in public. As the video said he came out or more aptly admitted that he was going through somethings in his personal life that made things really tough for him, many years after the fact. People looking at it from the outside can hardly say his performances were affected because of these events. He was a rare among rare breed of players.

I remember watching Iniesta win a under-19 (I think it was 19, maybe 17) world cup with Spain, and he was carrying the whole team. I remember thinking this kid was going to be the improved version of Xavi. Because he was playing in Xavi's position, but he accompanied the play all into the box and also scored. He reminded me of Valerón. He was fenomenal already as a kid. It took quite a bunch of years for him to get into the team (More than Xavi, it was Deco who was blocking him the way), but it was clear he was eventually going to be a crucial piece.

I rate Iniesta very highly but between him, Xavi, and Modrić, as a number 8 he did not run the pitch or define his team style of play as well. For example Xavi was a better playmaker plus he moved the ball quicker, Modric was better at winning the ball early plus on the counter, and both were better passers and at retaining possession. While Iniesta was the most creative of the bunch who could move the ball around and transition play (like a cross between an 8 and 10), which made his link up with Xavi perfect he just was not as crucial. That sort of style made him more flashy though so he is rated higher.
