@@SonuSharma-xx2hj Ah yes, the other South American countries don't produce great talents, right? Messi, Di Maria, Luis Diaz, James Rodriguez, Yeferson Soteldo, Andre Carrillo, Arrascaeta, et cetera don't exist.

In my opinion he is better than zidane. Zidane was more flashy but iniesta is the better playmaker and he was more consistent than zidane. If we look at their careers, Zidane didn't play like it's shown in his highlight videos in every match or even close to that, he gave one amazing game and then in some number of games he didn't do something amazing. And iniesta throughout is career was great in every match he played, mabye he didn't score or assist in every match but he always done the playmaking greatly.
he is miles ahead than zidane. Only fan boys will say otherwise. Zidane cant dribble like him. He was good tactitian but not better than iniesta. Andre was good in every area.
@@orenimanilov3170 Zidane is better at international by miles. Literal miles. It's not even close. Every manager, every player, every football fan, even most barca fans would agree that Zidane >>. Come on now Iniesta is being compared to Modric and you want to say he's better than Zidane??
I remember there was a time in 2014 when I remarked to my brother "I think Iniesta is better than Messi now". Messi was plagued with injuries and he would turn up his game in 2015 though, giving us that legendary season.
Can you please make a video on Francisco Conceição from FC Porto in 2024? 💙🤍 An absolute talent! A true magician 🪄 The world deserves to know this young man. 🇵🇹 Note: According to the CIES Football Observatory, he is currently the 2nd best dribbler in the world after Jeremy Doku.
That's because he wasn't the one harming Madrid. It was Messi, especially Messi' first Hat-Trick was Vs Madrid 🤣🤣😂🤣 Iniesta was good, no doubt, but if he doesn't score, it's basically no harm.
@@aaroninglafter his constant injuries in 2014. Messi actually had a superior work rate. Guardiola once even said he was Barca’s best defender because he used to recover the ball very frequently
In my honest opinion, I think he is the second greatest footballer of all time behind Messi. Ronaldo was great too, and had amazing stats, but Iniesta had a superior game to Ronaldo. Different players, but I think Iniesta was simply more skilled than Ronaldo. 1) Messi 2) Iniesta 3) Ronaldo
Not taking anything away from Messi but he was truly blessed to play with both Xavi and Iniesta in their prime. What players! I hate barcelona so you know they were good lol
It was truly a privilage to be 14, 15, 16 years old, football mad, and watxhing this machine come into its rythm. Messi was something else. Iniesta was always my favourite as you cannot base your game on messi, its simply impossible.
I wish I could see those games with this brain, I mean a more matured brain that appreciates the arts of football. I was young then, we just watched the game without real understanding of the tactics n skills. But from what i hear it was a blast 💥
@@AthulChandran-qx5nw But they were truly fearsome. I still can't believe that Chelsea manage to beat them back then, it took more than a miracle if you watch both legs.
I don't think Barca will ever be like this again. They truly had phenomenal talents coming out of la masia from Messi to Busquets to Xavi, Iniesta, Pique. Now neither can they produce such talents nor buy big names 😢😢😢
he cant dribe fast, but he quick enought to pass trought in the midfield. i never skip my eyes watching messi, xavi, iniesta and busque play together 😂
La cantidad de jugadores que merecían el balón de oro a parte de Messi y Cristiano eran exagerados, lastimosamente para todos ellos les tocó jugar en la época de Messi y Cristiano
Bah, era demasiado bueno. Es hasta insultante que siendo inferior físicamente haga semejantes destrozos. Que le comparen con Modric es un insulto al fútbol, para qué nos vamos a engañar. Lo que se ve en este video no lo hace Modric ni en sus mejores sueños.
It's not that deep BRO. Younger ppl use it in the same way older generations say dude when referring to someone. "Like this dude is insane". Younger ppl would say "bro is insane" same thing. Again not that deep.
If you look at messi..it was more unorthodox style of play..you can see him like a glitch dribble type..unable to predict.. Iniesta on the other hand.. orthodox player..with such smoothi flow..
Bro is legendary and his game is worth ALL the hype
crazy to realize how stacked Barcelona was with exceptional players
And came form the youth
You mean with Messi?
Because Barca is nothing without their Messi (no hate towards Messi just to be clear)
@@ferryterry9926I think he means the likes of Busquets,Xavi,Ineista,Pique,Puyol,Eto,Henry,Messi etc...

Rumour has it that Iniesta didn't lose any ball during the 15/16 season. Like 0 turnovers, dribble or pass, 100% ball retention... it was crazy
Where did you see that.

@@ordro107 i believe you, iniesta is the goat midfielder.
I love his dribbling movements. And his croqueta is sooo smooth.
Iniesta was a gem of a footballer.. a player any teammate would want in his team.
Perfect team player with a great personality.
I always felt that Iniesta was on par with Messi. A beautiful little player to watch, and there wasn't a weakness in his game.
Just amazing.
I love his croqueta. Its so smooth and graceful.
0:39 Iniesta just did a Bruce Lee kick mid game
Better than Cantona.

01:16 is probably the most beautiful scene I‘ve ever seen in football.
Zizou like
A hidden gem over rhe years. Astonishing
People underestimate the value of a CM that can dribble. The whole pitch opens up even if they beat one guy.
Too often dribblers have to play wide.
The Messi of midfield
1:17 this is my favorite press composure play in history
Why does every claim have to be such nonsensical level.
History? Seriously?
Best player I have seen.

The link he had with Ney… 👌🏻👌🏻
Prime barcelona is the best football team of all time...period. and I'm not even a barcelona fan
One of the best dribblers of all time, I've always said that
Till this day I think Messi learned his dribbling from Iniesta
Nahhh!! Messi is a far better dribbler. No hate to the great Iniesta
The rolls royce of ballers
Modric was great and all but Iniesta was just a different gravy, no comparison for me.
He was so good that it looked like defenders were just letting him go past.

Unreal player
Silky. Just gliding about.

Bring back the glory days!!!
This is not football. It’s Art 🎨
No surprise with Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi whom could dribble like that won many trophy's with Barcelona

In Spain we said:"Iniesta de mi vida"
It must have been fun back then.
Best playmaker

3 of the best dribblers of all time..

You are missing out Ronaldinho and Ronaldo Nazario.
Xavi was very close to iniesta too
Neymar? 😅

He was definitely on track until the injuries started. May yet reach those levels.
La cantidad de jugadores que merecían el balón de oro a parte de Messi y Cristiano eran exagerados, lastimosamente para todos ellos les tocó jugar en la época de Messi y Cristiano
He and Xavi left Fifa World Cup 14 years ago, and they didn't have forward whose level was not even close to Messi... Now do the math...
Fue el Zidane español, si hubiese trabajado más la definición habría sido el interior perfecto.
Neymar deu 2 assistência pra ele kkkk
Bah, era demasiado bueno. Es hasta insultante que siendo inferior físicamente haga semejantes destrozos.
Que le comparen con Modric es un insulto al fútbol, para qué nos vamos a engañar.

We will never see anyhting like him. I think Silva was the closest.
Xavi 🤦
shouldve won at least 1 ballon dor, he and xavi
Que Iniesta no tenga un balón de oro es una vergüenza para el fútbol.
2nd best for me after messi
1:00 did this referee just run into him lol?
🔥🔥🔥
🎉
This trend of calling anybody "bro" is so freakin cringe and annoying. You went to school with Iniesta to refer to him as "bro"? Jesus..

oh no a fkn boomer who hurt you bro?😮
Man stfu BROOOO!! Come of the internet if u cant handle it BROOOO
Are you Indian...???
If you look at messi..it was more unorthodox style of play..you can see him like a glitch dribble type..unable to predict..
Iniesta on the other hand.. orthodox player..with such smoothi flow..
Hold up,kids will tell u De Bruyne is the best 😂
For me it’s a disrespect to iniesta if we compare Pedri to him.
The comparison is nowhere close.
They say de bruyne is great😂
When players were allowed to beat a man. Footballs shte these days.
Better than Messi
You missed one sir.
th-cam.com/video/QtMK8RbHbgU/w-d-xo.html
I think the most Iniesta kinda like player nowadays is Debruyne.
Not close
Iniesta was simply better than Zidane,who agrees?
Neymar left amd barca fell
first
"Bro" = 🤡
Prime Iniesta = His whole career
Iniesta was unplayable.. Imagine there's another strong ball retention player like Xavi, Busquets, and Messi along his side.
Oh wait..
Not only iniesta but prime tiki taka barca was peak of individual skill, just dribbling in a small space like no tomorrow
In 2012 when Messi scored 90+ goals, Iniesta was the sole play maker; Messi playing false 9
Xavi, Busquets, and Fabregas don't exist, I guess.
@@xingyuzhou1891 He majorly did those dribbles that opened the way for Messi to round off the keeper
