Back in 1999, Guardiola was still playing in midfield for Barca and he had been joined in the dressing room at that time by a young Xavi. Watching a 15-year-old Iniesta in action in the Nike Cup, Guardiola turned to Xavi and said: "You will retire me, but this kid will retire us both."

Wow, this video is incredible. Absolutely beautiful stuff. It reminds me of the first time I saw Iniesta in person. Barcelona v Levante in 2007. Ronaldinho was World Player of The Year. 19 year old Messi had just scored a hat-trick against Real Madrid, and that wonder goal against Getafe, and his greatness was beginning to be understood. But as my dad and I watched the game, it was clear that No. 24 (who my dad had never heard of before that game) was running the show. Not necessarily obvious on TV, but in person, watching him off the ball, and when he received it, it was clear that he was running the show - not Ronaldinho, Messi, Eto'o, or even Deco or Xavi.

More than 10 years ago I was telling my friends that Iniesta was almost as good as Messi, and better than Zidane, they all laughed at me. The description of Iniesta's genius in the above clip is a brilliant one, as it is indeed extremely difficult to explain to someone who has not watched him with extreme concentration what exactly it is that makes him so great. I still remember a La Liga game from 08/09 against Villarreal at the Camp Nou (3-3) in which Keita gave an immensely lousy ball to Iniesta, it was extremely overhit as well as way too high, yet Iniesta controlled it with some kind of karate move I will never understand. I still remember that play more than 10 years down the line, it was so inexplicable.

He was always better than Gerrard and Lampard they too were undoubtedly world class. However, scholes was class and elegance not statistical megaheads like Gerrard or Lampard but beautiful to watch and was just so naturally gifted as well and technically better. It's not a shame he played in England he had a fantastic career with one the greatest clubs of all time and he made them tick. It's more of a shame that the minds of the British don't realise how great it is to sometimes be simple yet effective. I will never put Scholes in the same bracket as Gerrard and Lampard he should be with the bracket of Xavi, Pirlo, Iniesta and so on.

I watched Barcelona live in the flesh probably the same year as this guy and could've almost said the same thing, he and Messi dominated the field, making Neymar look like a showpony and Suarez look like a tap in scorer. Iniesta got an assist i think, he and Messi both went on crazy dribbles but that personally wasn't the stand out moment. For me the stand out moment of Iniesta in that match was the way he made a fake run for Pique, knowing that he wouldn't get the ball and without even checking his shoulder and then watching Messi drop into the space created by him and assist a goal. Iniesta didn't even touch the ball but without him that goal wouldn't have been scored. 2009/10 Barcelona will never be beaten, Iniesta, Pique and Messi are the last of that team and the level of communication that was still present between them three was sublime, I've seen Ronaldo, Adama Traore, Salah, Coutinho, Mane, Rooney and Tevez play live but nothing compares to Messi and Iniesta. I walked into that game wanting to see Neymar flick it over someones head and Messi score a free kick and left the game flabbergasted at the dribbling and intelligence of Messi and Andres, Legends.

But as the video says, it is oddly fitting that it hasn't become as viral as I would have wanted. Afterall, that's what legends are all about. You only feel their absence once they are gone. And no matter how hard we try, nobody can ever replace them. Once the realisation comes, it is already too late. I felt immense pleasure and privileged to have watched Iniesta play in my lifetime. And I thank Musa Okwonga for putting this brilliant piece together to tell us what Iniesta means to football fans who are above stats, championships, cups, etc. and enjoy the game for what it is.

Iniesta only scores the most important goals because he comes out and realizes if I have supported the whole team to score and nobody could then I must. This is the difference from Messi who is a genius of everything but because he’s not a natura midfielder he doesn’t control the pace of the game as much, Messi is still very good at this but he always wants to speed it up too quickly often it works though because his passes are perfect. What Messi lacks is that feeling of well if no one else can then I will, because usually he’s making so many of the shots already that the “if nobody else can” is usually already 90% him. This is why Iniesta is Spain’s most important player ever and Messi isn’t Argentina’s, aside from the huge gap in talent across the team. Messi is still the best player of all time, I’m just explaining the nuance between them

Are we all just mesmerised by the brilliance of Iniesta that we ignore the fact that this video is possibly the most beautiful video on KZbin. I mean the background music, the art, the narration...masterpiece Sir...just a masterpiece

This video reminded me of a few years back when a relatively “poor” team (I don’t remember who) managed a 0-0 draw against Barcelona. When they asked the manager how he stopped Messi he said it was impossible to stop him and that what they did was focus on neutralizing Xavi and Iniesta.

Iniesta is selfless.

I have probably seen this video 20 times. But every time I see it , I get goosebumps. I wish you guys made a video on Busquets !

One of the best videos I have seen on the beautiful game. Just wow, I am too moved to articulate any more right now. I have been trying to convince people that Don Andres is a more complete midfielder than Zizou, but you could not have described his genius better. Thank you.

Sergio Busquets is probably the greatest CDM of this generation.

You watch the game, you don’t see Busquets. You watch Busquets, you see the whole game - Vicente del Bosque
