Absolute genius and skillful player. One of the greatest player and arguably greatest midfielders of all time. Enjoy your retirement Iniesta

Only Iniesta was close to Messi in holding the ball to his feet. The real magician behind the glory days of Spain and Barcelona. Thank you. What a pleasure to be alive watching peak Iniesta

Iniesta will go down as an all time great. He’s at the very, very top of the tree

Best box to box ever, plus he was a goal scoring midfielder when it mattered most

Iniesta & Xavi were best duo in history.

Andres! If you see him tackling aggressively, then Barca is losing!A legend!

[enkenthouse]

3rd best player of our generation after Messi and Ronaldo

[wemadeitpodcast]

Barca never won UCL or even made it to a final after Iniesta left. I wish we would have gotten to see him at another club in Europe after he left Barca.
