    Not many players that can have all those adjectives thrown his way and actually merit them all. A once in a generation player.

    Let him do a couple of years in China, make a packet, then bring him home for the 10!

    Absolute genius of a footballer, will be a huge miss to Barcelona and European football. Will try and get out for Barcas last home game to see him play one more time

    Iniesta is my favourite non-Celtic player of all time.

    I remember the time when he was young and occasionally got subbed in. a true maestro of the game, one of the last player with pure elegance and magic. best spanish player of all time.

    I would put him 2nd. It hurts my heart losing both within a few years.

    Iniesta all day long over Xavi for me personally.

    Disregarding Messi because he isn’t human, Iniesta is up alongside Zidane and Ronaldinho in terms of being a joy to watch from a neutral perspective.

    This really feels like the end of an era now :54:

    Preferred Xavi but both of them are geniuses.

    Puyol, Xavi and now Iniesta gone...

    Puyol scoring in the pit and ripping off the Catalan armband to kiss it is iconic.

    Montella out at Sevilla. Feel they didn't want to take another big drubbing in the upcoming derby.
