Andrés Iniesta

[Kohe321]

Brilliant game yet again. Too early to write him off, he is looking better and better. Go Iniesta!

 

[Barcaman]

Maybe 2 games is too early to tell, but it looks like he regained his momentum. Looking very good out there!

I'm a bit skeptical too but I do hope he keeps it up.

It's a function of: 1) Neymar not ballholding, and 2) Messi roaming more centrally to connect the midfield, 3) team no longer looking *only* to get the ball forward. Last few games have been more tiki-taka than we've seen in ages, and Iniesta is back in his element. Barça may not be able to use these tactics against all upcoming opponents, but it's a damn pleasure to see fluid one-touch ball again. Today's first goal was the end of a pass sequence 7 passes longer than any other in La Liga this season.

Wow, the old Iniesta seems to have come alive yet again now in the crucial part of thea season! Great, just great if he keeps it that way till the end.

You're forgetting one more crucial reason: the knee he took to the ass against PSG knocked some of his old form back into his legs.

Joking aside, you're making good points. I absolutely love the way we're playing as well

And they whistled Xavi right after.

 

[CatalinR10]

for me he was really dissapointing in the 1'st half before the assist

 

[dakt]

not sure what why, but for me he's quite good.

 

[KyletheMuslim]

He definitely is back

 

[6 Ballons for Messi]

Man, he's back in his best in the last few months.
Just in time.

 

[Albo]

Yup, Xavi and Iniesta tend to have some problems when the pitch isn't that great.

 

[instinct]

Ter-Stegen went from playing with Stranzl to posing with Iniesta.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

lol they look like a 90's boys band

 

[Barcaman]

Sounds unreal that his assist for Suárez was his first this season in La Liga.
