Andrés Iniesta

Iniesta flows like water, so he was in his element today

So good today, keep it up! I feel that the passing tempo is so much better when he is on the pitch.

Best player in the world to have when your team is struggling for control of the match (along with Xavi). Amazing tonight.

He, along with Xavi, were the main men responsible for putting the team in a position to take advantage of Sevilla leaving spaces. You could say that's kind of their job, and also that they weren't always successful, but for the large part they were brilliant.

I would put Messi (of 2 years ago) in that category too, I still can't forget the Champions League final at Wembley where he literally kept moving the play 30 yards up the pitch amidst the intense United pressure.

Looked like his old self again. Hope he keeps it up

Eh I don't remember much of a struggle for control of that match though, Barca pretty much played them off the park for 90 minutes.

The first 10-15 minutes???

Rome or Wembley?

I remember a tense opening spell in 09 but it wasn't Messi who turned that around.

 

[footyfan]

Wembley of course. We broke the tension in Rome right up with Iniesta's run and goal from Etoo.

Indeed.
In Wembley we were never rattled and grossly underperforming, even in the opening period. There was no turn-around needed and we were always gonna win that game.

This. What a player when he steps up.

 

[Deco 20]

Had a great second half

The Don, the glider. Great game but he scared me late in the second half when he tried to dribble out of our box. Just clear your zone sometimes man.
