Happy 33rd birthday to Don Andrés! 33 years old and still playing at the very highest of levels in world football. There's no denying that Iniesta is not as good as he once was, but that's only normal considering his age and how more and more injuries are starting to haunt him, destroying his match continuity and fitness. Still, I find it funny when people claim that he's "finished" when it was just a few weeks ago that he dominated at the Bernabeu as he usually does, showing to people that he's not lost his ability and quality, it's just that he doesn't display it quite as often as he used to. I'm certain El Ilusionista will continue to mesmerize us with his magic for another year or two before retiring. That will be a sad day for football so enjoy this beautiful man while you can.

He's different,but class is permanent:)

Henrik Lehmann Words. You're right. Iniesta may have lost his pace his dribbling ability. but his understanding and Vision and his ability to control a game remains the same. Hes not what he used to be. But he's better than the lot down there. Thank you, Iniesta. You made me believe that Magic exists. Thank you for all those magical passes through which I ran, screamed and hugged in an extravagant joy. Thank you, Henrik for another stunning video.

[@henriklehmannn]

True stuff mate, thank you

IF U REALLY LOVE FOOTBALL THERES NO WAY U CAN HATE INIESTA EVEN IF U SUPPORT REAL MADRID

[@sammykengere9451]

It's not about his stats, but his technique and ability on the ball, that ability to remain calm and stop time, I dont think i will ever see a player like him. Happy Birthday Don Andres, My Idol.

[@nickv4072]

He idolized and imitated laudrup but surpassed him as far as having influence over a match and team.

[@amlannayak983]

Andres Iniesta. He is rightly called Illusionista, the Illusionist. But there is one missing definition of that word that people overlook. Iniesta is an illusion to the defender, but at times, he is even more of an illusion to the viewer. His four CL finals, all victories, he has one assist and no goal, and yet he can lay a claim to being the best player on almost each occasion. See, a lot of the time, say Leo wreaks havoc, it shows. He scores, he assists, he does the pass before the goal. Leo commits a crime and screams to the world "It was me". He is not a showboater, he doesn't do it because he wants to show people, he does it because he can, because he likes it. His name is on the match statistics. Iniesta, on the other hand, in an assassin in gloves. He murders people, he conquers a territory, he rules a kingdom, yet there is no tangible proof for it. There is no fingerprint on the knife; the ruler of the kingdom is invisible. Sometimes, when Iniesta receives the ball from ter Stegen near the defence, opposition forwards try to pressure him down, to get the ball. "One tackle, we will have a break". Iniesta then gently moves in a different direction and initiates another build up, another attack. He as much as doesn't even look at them. The players tackle and press a hologram, there is no one there. The pale ghost is gone. With the ball. Dribbling is an art form. Players dribble in various manners, Ronaldinho perplexes the opponent, bamboozles them. Leo makes them wish they could have slowed time to see what was just done to them, let alone try to stop it. Iniesta dribbles like an orchestrator. He does not destroy players straight away, naa aa, he is too nice for that. He dances, like the wind and the helpless players marking him, dance along with him. They have as much control over their own movement as a cloud in the sky. They just follow the wind, because the wind is so enticing, it looks so promising. But then, the wind fools them. After having made them dance to his tunes, the wind betrays them, breaks tandem and runs away in a different tone, while they gasp for the rest of the symphony to play to. But only for them does this happen. For the viewer, the symphony is still on, in full flow. For a person on ground, the Earth looks flat, linear. In orbit, it is round, not linear anymore. As said, a straight line is just a circle with infinite radius. Iniesta's symphony looks linear for the defender, only for it to curve just a bit later, while for the viewer, it is following a perfectly sinusoidal path. As I read somewhere once, "If Barcelona would be like driving a car, Iniesta would be the clutch." -KDP

[@faisalrahman7111]

From the time i have started watching barcelona...Andres have maintained the same vision,speed,dribbling and down to earth personality...He may not be as vocal or charismatic as puyol..but he holds the respect of the whole dressing room as puyol or even more than him....some people point out there fingers at him by saying he ain't the best anymore,he is mediocre,he is old and what not....But still on the grandest of stages he delivers...like rooney once said that they lost because we had the best player and that player was DON ANDRES!!! Even throw a big rock at his feet he will be able to control it...

[@kyversilver5584]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDRÉS, IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOVE INIESTA BEST SPANISH PLAYER WITH XAVI.

[@PW-qi1gi]

its difficult to hate Iniesta, but its not difficult to hate Xavi. Iniesta will always be better because he is not a disgrace as a person

[@kyversilver5584]

PW XAVI isn't a disgrace as person you have been very radical

[@PW-qi1gi]

he is a disgrace. moving to Qatar because of the money and always dumb comments on Real Madrid

[@kyversilver5584]

PW​ He moved a Qatar to start a new life with his family and become a DT, and the comments there are only his opinion I think he is respectful with his words

Just Magic I’ve Never seen a Player baller like Don Andres

[@hughes9830]

No doubt he`s not as good as he once was but i can never forget the Copa Del Ret final vs Sevilla last season, the best performance i have ever seen from any midfielder In my opinion. Thanks for this video bro, Great Work

[@henriklehmannn]

Thank you!

[@paleszhurts]

Well said, thanks to him it wasn't even recognisable that Barca was one man down for a long part of the game. Amazing video of an amazing player, I don't think there will ever be a player I adore that much. GOAT for me.

[@henriklehmannn]

Thanks man!

[@aimanfaisal5309]

Every year I will watch one of your Iniesta videos. It makes me nonchalant to see him no longer in La Liga. Thanks for the vid bro. Infinite Iniesta🌹

[@MK-kw8to]

Brilliant work, I love these overall reviews! I think everything what has to be said already had been said about Andrés Iniesta in the past years. Really sad that he already is 33 and I hope so much that he'll renew his contract until 2019 or 2020, it would be a perfect way to end his career winning the Euro in 2020, he probably won't play any longer. This season was definitely the hardest for him after he became a world class player but he had a great time in December and never really disappointed when he was actually fit for some time. I'm sure that we'll see a better Iniesta next season with less injuries because he has some time to recover now. Imo one of the all-time greats in football and a role model for everybody on and off the pitch.

[@henriklehmannn]

Spitting truth as always mate, thank you! Perhaps it would be most efficient if Iniesta played like Xavi did in his last season here. Not starting all games but still getting his fair share of games, where he could come in and make a difference, slowing the game down and keeping control.

[@nilosbarca8815]

Henrik Lehmann But Iniesta will play and starting probably under Valverde all important La Liga Matches and the CL when he's not getting injured. I don't think he will play a role like Xavi in his last season, but i'm sure he will not play Matches against Teams like Eibar,Levante,Betis.... :)

[@henriklehmannn]

+Nilos Triadafillu Yes most likely :)

Iniesta is my favorite current Barca player, so much respect for this little magican He always tries to perform the best and empower the team every time!!! The 2009 away match in UCL against Chelsea and 2010 World Cup final are always the remarkable match for football fans, as there were a legend called Iniesta saved his team and made an unforgettable history. The first and ever team to get 6 trophies in one year, the shot of Iniesta made it The first World Cup for Spain, the shot of Iniesta made it The first 3 consecutive international trophies, the master performances of Iniesta made it The second treble of Barcelona, the best player of the final 2015 made it And the most important thing is, his great morality of being a footballer and a person, always be the role model for teenagers!!!!! Respect~~~
