I decided to finally vote, and it was Xavi by a hair.

They're the two best midfielders I have seen in the last 30 years, though.

The crazy part is that with these 2, the midfield battle was already over before the game began. Even the biggest clubs decided to park the bus instead of going head to head versus these 2 in midfield (supported by False 9 Messi and Busquets in possession).

Not even Modric or Kroos had this sort of fear factor, despite also being all time greats.

Just an unbelievable aura.
Made the same point before. When these two played and linked up with Messi and Busquets, that four was unable to be passed off the park. It was just amazing to watch top teams with top players COMPLETELY concede to Barca's superiority and park the bus. Chelsea, Man United and Inter as examples (away at least for the latter) totally acknowledged they could not beat Barca in a game of football and had to sit back and defend for their lives and hope to get lucky on the break. It worked a few times but everyone knows Barca were by far the best team of that era and - for me - the best I have ever seen.

Xavi and Iniesta were two geniuses. For some reason they are forgotten now when discussing great players and even guys like fucking Henry, Lewandowski and Ibrahimovic are talked about more - two of who were in the same team at Barca and shown to be far less important than the two maestros. Maybe modern football fans are just clueless and cannot see beyond forwards.

As for Silva (who I am a big fan of) and Fabregas (not really a fan of at all) being able to replace Iniesta - come off it :ROFLMAO:

Resepct Henry
He was brilliant, but above Xavi and Iniesta? Come on.

I saw that article months ago btw, where he came third in best players of the 21st century. Clearly cos it was by ESPN and he works on American TV.

How is he better than Xavi and Iniesta when they ran every game at every level against every opponent? And his best performances came in the Premier League only?

Lmao Silva or Fabregas could replace Iniesta. Fabregas was once Barca player, you can't fool me.

As great as Silva was, he had no business to replace Iniesta.

Remove Iniesta out of Spain from 2008-12, i'm sure they would not win anything. Same with Xavi.
Bannable post tbh

Jabroni posting that Iniesta could be replaced by randoms calling others a troll
He said this, reads like he agrees with us on Iniesta, not Catta (who I do rate as a poster, but said Silva and Fabregas could replace Iniesta). I think vegitot agrees with us though the way it is written is vague. The first sentence reads like a statement but he's actually mocking the idea, for example, with the lmao. The second paragraph and third are much more clear and I agree with them too.

You both agree that Silva and Fabreags - as good as they were - are inferior to Iniesta.
