This. What a player when he steps up.

He's a fantastic player who had a great game, but people sometimes misunderstand that it has little to do with "a drop in form." He "looked like his old self" because Sevilla "looked like an old opponent." Barça players' technical abilities shine when the opponent presses, the best team in the world at holding and passing the ball under pressure and escaping. Iniesta was brilliant because Sevilla's tactics highlighted the skills he is brilliant at. When the other team completely abandons fighting for the ball and camps in their own box, Barça appears much more ordinary- like trying to sail a boat on a day with no wind.
