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.

As a Portuguese kid having his "soccer awakening" during 2006/2012, I must say, along with Sneijder, Ronaldinho, and Drogba, Iniesta was one of my teenage idols. It's a shame this next generation will never understand how much of a unsung hero this man was

[@samenshahriar6249]

Bruh I was about to ask the same question

[@zarpspawn3508]

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.

[@user-jw5qj8kv2y]

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

[@malafakka8530]

While he certainly deserved one, it simply was the era of Messi and Ronaldo. It doesn't really matter because awards are often based on opinion anyway.

[@TheCyanPhoenix]

Xavi and Iniesta a notch above Modric lol...well, some people prefer oranges to strawberries. Can't argue with taste lol

[@desmondachocky537]

Its facts,even many madrid fans consider Iniesta a better player than Modric.He wrecked havoc on them during his playing hey days n to this day its only Iniesta and Gaucho who have had the privilege of receiving a standing ovation at the Bernabeu.Even Messi never did.Shows u how special he was that even his fiercest rivals in madrid could appreciate his greatness.This guy also won the wcup by scoring the lone goal n also won back-back euros with spain in 2008 n 2012 where he was the MOTM in the final n best player of the tournament back in 2012.Its just embarrassing trying to compare Modric aspenalty great as he is to legendary Iniesta.Its not even a debate.Let modric win the euros leave alone even the wcup fr him to be considered in this debate.

[@muhammedgamer1896]

[@kerengarcia1811]

@@desmondachocky537you realize that Modric won the World Cup player of the tournament in 2018 in which he won the ballon d or of that year. The same thing which Messi won after he won the World Cup while being the pott. Keep in mind Modric is still playing at the highest level that there is. Still playing in Madrid. Iniesta is playing in the Middle East. Modric’s ballon d or will always cement him as one of the best.
