Andrés Iniesta

Constant (AC Milan): "Messi is the best player in the world and he showed it against us, although Iniesta impressed me even more." [rmc]

Constant (AC Milan): "Iniesta is around for 90 minutes, attacks, defends. It's only on the pitch you see the importance of Iniesta and Xavi"

Iniestas Milan 2nd leg performance is way to underrated by the media, but us fans will keep those memories intact... not any less valuable than Messi and Busi in that match! His interceptions made me feel were watching the NBA jeez... what awareness!

Iniesta gets applauded at more or less all Spanish teams stadiums because of his WC winning goal yet Cesc gets booed (despite assisting Iniesta's WC winning goal). Weird.

BTW: should this have been red for Iniesta?

 

[Deco 20]

No

 

[Galning]

Probably. But half the Dutch team should've had a red by then as well.

 

[Frejsgodes]

No.

But this is

 

[Stric]

No.

I love how that douche starts raising his arms as soon as he lands, I DIDN'T DO NOTHING YO!

It's amazing how every Real Madrid fan I've come across (friends, friends' friends, at bars, matches, even online forums and online FIFA) says that if they have to pick just 1 player from Barca, it would we Iniesta. Not Xavi, not Messi, not Busquets, always Iniesta.

It's not a huge surprise really. Over the last few years Madrid have lacked a central midfielder who dictates the game and unlocks tight defences. This is less of a problem since they acquired Xabi Alonso and settled on a counter attacking style with Mourinho but they could still use a midfielder as complete as Iniesta. The fact that Iniesta is Spanish and plays with an elegance that is reminiscent of Zidane are also why Madrid fans want him.

He wasn't as involved today... In my opinion he was a little bit too deep...

 

[abual3bed1]

He had to keep possession more. Not bad yet not that good.

 

[ammarfcb]

did what he had to. and did it right.

Assuming Messi can't play vs PSG. Ever thought of putting this guy as false number 9? Just a thought, Fabregas will probably fill the void but I think a false number 9 should be able to go past players and Iniesta has that ability.
