This is a tribute to one of the greatest midfielder ever. Andres Iniesta was a big part of FC Barcelona's success in the last decade. He is famous for his passing, vision, dribbles and important goals - this video includes all of them!

Iniesta best dribblings, skills, goals, runs, assists, passes, FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, El Clasico
MagicalMessi - as magical as Messi
My favorite midfielder of all time - it was a pleasure to watch him!
MagicalMessi i love your videos always make me feel something good
When i enjoy your video, enjoy Messi and now Iniesta, i just wanna cry
MagicalMessi where are you from?
And what is your real name ??
Hey there! how can i get in touch with you?
Him and Xavi must be one of the greatest midfield pairings of all time.

And Messi was a mixture of them two as well… isn’t that crazy???
@@charliesamson6952 the fact that trio was mixture betweem any two of the three messi was of xaviesta, xavi was messi iniesta and iniesta was messi xavi
Absolutely, Passing like Xavi dribbling like Messi, I mean not exactly the same but still his dribbles are divine to watch.
@@ProfSeloTheGoldenDragon. dribbling like messi 😂😂whattta a joke Imma a barca fan btw
Iniesta's dribbling is underrated imo. He's one of best dribblers ever. His ball control is godly like the ball is glued to his feet. His passing is exquisite. He's very press resistant. He reads the game well. If there's one midfielder that has every possible quality needed for being a good midfielder, it's Iniesta. There's never enough praise for Iniesta. He deserves all of it and more.
Couldn't agree more

If Pogba is worth of 100M, then Iniesta is worth of 1B. Period.
Comparing Pogba to Iniesta, is like comparing Beethoven or Schubert to Bad Bunny or Bad Gyal

He's been changing Japanese soccer. Thank you for playing in Japan! Respect him and Spain football.
I'm sure he would raise the standard in J-League, and pass on his skills to the Japanese players.
I really being jealous on J-League because of Iniesta playing at there ;( #respect
i think iniesta and Japan are perfect match
I have seen some clip of him in the j-league. iniesta look so class and he seemed to improved his teamate.
Sometimes he looked more dangerous than Messi in Messi’s best seasons. That’s a serious thing.
When iniesta, busquets and xavi were in their best form specially iniesta was in his best form Messi never outshine him,,.. It was spectacular to watch them... Everyone watched Barcelona from 2008-2012 know that, I am not even a barca fan, may be because I am an Atletico fan and Barca was in different level, that's why I could watch them without biased mind at that time,
Exactly
Hasanul Banna Barcelona of that time was something out of this world .. they used to do the oppositions like playing a football game at Extreme easy level .. unarguably the best team in the world it was ( Busquets Xavi Iniesta Messi ) in prime
You spoke my mind
@@hb_gallary8694 Thank you for being true football fan His vision,control,skills and passes are something I have never seen anybody do(except ofcourse Messi). For me he comes in top 5 footballers of all time.
The fact this man never won a best footballer of the year award and Modric did is the biggest disgrace to ever happen in football history (Madrid fan)
competing with messi and cr7 in their prime, extremely difficult. not saying modric deserved it more or anything tho
Jessy Ventura 2010’s was sneijder’s or iniesta’s. unfortunately, they decided to give it to messi.
@@DB-lo1iy I think it was definitely debatable that they deserved it because they played extremely high level football. Messi scored 50+ goals for the year that entire season which is unreal. He was just at the peak of his game. Also dismantled just about every team that year like no ones ever seen. Sneijder and Iniesta are key players without question but not as impactful
Jessy Ventura i’m a messi fan as well. it just makes my head ache everytime i think modric won the ballon d’or over ronaldo in 2018 but sneijder or iniesta couldn’t in 2010 ..
@@DB-lo1iy dude the only thing Iniesta did was scoring in the world cup final. I mean he was struggling the whole year with injuries so the balon d'or should have been for Sneijder! I love Iniesta but that is the truth. Cheers from Spain!
The greatest midfielder of all time. He always delivered. The only player in the history of football that became best player of the match in a champions league final, a World Cup final, and a Euro cup final. I agree with Fernando Torres’ who once said that he never seen Iniesta playing a bad game, not even in training. I think there are players who lost more balls in one game, iniesta did in his whole career. There were games Especialy against Mourinho’s madrid where they shut down Xavi and Messi due to incredibly great marking and pressing as whole, but only iniesta delivered in those games. Remember the dribble against madrid when Xavi scored. That game was hard, but iniesta still found a way to kill that game. Mr consistant.
What about zidane
@@myduck9962 Obviously, but Zidane wasnt as consistant. Zidane could be a 10/10 or a 6/10, iniesta always had a 10/10 or a 9/10. Also in the small games.
@@leobeenplakker6505 I’m a Barca fan and I love iniesta but Zidane is the best midfielder I ever seen. He carried France alone to win the World Cup in 98 and thought Brazil a lesson in 2006 when he was 34
@@Mohamed-kx2gi he carried France in the final, he didn’t carry them in the groupgames or semi finals. Iniesta carried Spain throughout the whole tournament, and did it also With Barca being the Motm in almost the finals they won.

It was heartbreaking to watch Iniesta getting aged and finally leaving Barcelona. Felt like half of Barca was gone.! Such a great player. Super intelligent, master of his game. One of a kind. It was a pleasure to watch him on the pitch. 👏👏👏
Midfielder usually left or declined around 30s. They have to run more snd go up and down the whole match. There tons of player out there can play till 35 or more but they just a average players.
Barca will never be the same or reach the same heights as it did before
now the other half of Barca has left with Messi, we will never be the same again
@@ellgen1 For sure in a few generations. New talents will emerge. Barca just hast to surround itself with them again. People probably said the same when Pele or Maradona ended their career......so. This just repeats itself right now. There will be other exceptional players 100%!!!
Half of it was actually gone when he left
I believe iniesta was the most loved player in football. Even barcelona haters respect him
Toni Georg thats true at least in Spain. We madridistas love Iniesta, but here in Spain is common to cheer him at every field he plays cause he scored the goal that gave us our only World Cup
It’s between him and Pepe

@@SebHaarfagre You have to consider the opponents defense system too, yeah he's been launched so many unreal pass.
Most fitting comment for one of the greats of the game
I don't think I've ever seen Iniesta and Xavi give the ball away..🤔
Lol ... he did sometimes, like twice in 3 years I think!
When Messi didn't have the best game; Iniesta was there to hard carry! He was there in all important games! Barca and Spain Finals, clásicos, and crucial games.
i can’t believe this era is over :(
Yeah me too.. for me 2009 - 2016 seasons felt just like a year ago.. now i dont really know most of barca and madrid players anymore.. 🥲

One of the best players of all time.
If there was one player Messi would take a meant deep bow to out of all legends he played with, Its Iniesta. What a ridiculous good player holy shit.
Also Ronaldinho and Xavi
Xavi and Ronaldinho > Iniesta. Arguably Henry too
Yes, but I think Iniesta is better than both of them. I mean i think he comes after messi. By the way Ribery is a great player too.
Ronaldinho>=Iniesta>>Xavi. Iniesta is definitely better than Xavi and it's coming from a Xavi fan.
@@DC-zi6se There are actually a lot of reasons for someone to state that Xavi is the best player of all times. The Illusionist is a legend too, but the same can not be said about him, many traits and attributes of his, have been observed to be possessed by past players to the same or even better level.
Do you know what they mastered? Simple basic football playing. No flashy tricks. Just direct passing, direct shooting, direct play making choices. The simplest football playing is the most dominant style if mastered, and have keen intuition, and also clairvoyance in their arsenal (in my eyes, cus its just amazing how they accomplish what they do at the highest level,and dominate with ease)
How about his really quick feet, his change of pace, I think that part of his game is so underrated, the way he glides past defenders, magical.
Simple?🙄no player can do the shit he does but yeah its simple
@@stevenlafferty2732 The moves themselves are very, very simple. Even his trademarked la croqueta is an extremely simple move. But making it look so simple is no easy feat. It's easy to do the simple things, but it's very hard to do the simple things as well as Iniesta.
Its practically Mozzart against David Guetta, Nicky Minaj and others...
Humble1 Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is.
he's one of the maturest players ive ever known
Iniesta deserved better praise in my opinion very technical and skilled especially on 1 on 1 with defenders, quite underated imo. His undoing was that he shared the same space as Messi.
Barcelona without Iniesta is like football without ball. ❤

Or like a salad with no salt
Its like sex with no fanny

so that's American Football lmao 😂
LEGENDS NEVER DIE!! INFINITE INIESTA!!!
Anderson Mawar can u sub my channel I will sub back
I don't even see the space he passes into until I see the ball land his vision for creating those passes were god tier, he was truly amazing.

He should’ve won 2010 and 2012 ballon dor.

I'll take a Wild stab and say you were born no where near madrid and only consider yourself a 'madrista' because you glory hunt. Or is it for some other reason lmao
I firmly believe that we get to enjoy Messi because he learnt from the best in Iniesta/Xavi. I see so much of their game in Messi
