Andrés Iniesta

[Morten]

Iniesta took the spot from Modric probably, congrats......

As undeserved as it was its hardly unexpected. His career has left that much of an impact on the football world that he gets the treatment retired legends get when their bad games are forgotten.

I'm glad he won but it won't help get his hunger back if he's given undeserved awards.
And yeah, Modrić was twice the player Iniesta was, last year.

 

[Antimadridista1]

Modric or Mascherano deserved to be the third midfielder.

 

[abual3bed1]

Modric, Masch and Koke all could've been there.

+1000

This reward is not doing any good for him or the club.

I really don't think he cares.

 

[Siberia]

Am I the only one that noticed he's been much stronger in defense?

He has been much stronger in defense.

This is also the reason why he's been weaker offensively.

Guys he's fine offensively he still has that amazing ball retention under pressure and silky dribbling a top class midfielder he' just fallen down the pecking order when it comes to individual play since he now has 3 players ahead of him trying the solo runs doing the fancy stuff and what not also being a mid he has tone that down and focus more on the team play u cant have the whole team going maradona 86 all the time where as before it was only him and Messi which gave him more a chance to do the godly stuff but you gotta get used to him playing more reserved.

 

[Irish_Cules]

Ye he was very impressive against Atletico. His defensive work was outstanding and he also was superb at retaining the ball in the midfield under pressure. It's not as entertaining as vintage Iniesta but I'm happy with him taking a more reserved role if the team continues to play like it did at the weekend. I'm still not convinced that we will be able to do that on a consistent basis though.

 

[raskolnikov]

Just realised Ramos has more goals than him... Statistics say so little but I was still a bit surprised.

 

[Deco 20]

Iniesta also conceded fewer goals and is better in defense
