Kante is a box to box, ball winning midfielder meaning he performs more than one role while busquets is mostly a sitting DM who hardly goes to the opponent's box 18 cause of those ahead of him, who are going to see more before? Shey you said you understand midfield roles? I know if I drag this ish with you, the next thing you would start is kante vs busquets as you like to dey twist and turn once you chop L that's how you said senna retired after 2008 euros, same senna that I saw in a clip playing in the US yesterday in 2014, then retired 2015, This guy sef You dey related to any DJ?

I can see so many mice playing while the cat was away. By the way the idiot that reported me without breaking any rule,should go ahead again cus I wont tolerate any Andres iniesta slander whilst I am registered here, so pls mod be ready to ban this moniker again. If you want to talk down on Andres iniesta make sure your favourite player is either messi or Ronaldo not frank Lampard,matic or coquelin .

He say na yab? Ok in a lay man's term, what Vincente del Bosque was trying to tell you is that busquets might not be the goal scorer, give you the game winning assist or show you flashy dribbles in the final third In Summary be the centre of attention in games but when you focus more on him like the others you'll see he is equally as effective for his team in the middle of the park, Del Bosque didn't make that statement on drugs, that's deep, shallow minds can't process it, And nobody forced you to do that, afterall you've been throwing various lambas here which have been marked out, tiki taka in general is boring, most didn't like it until it proved effective and brought those teams then to serial domination before people started hailing pep and the pioneers, busquets would likely struggle in a counter attacking side but he excelled in his system, im tired of repeating the same thing over and over again

1. 2006: FINAL SUPER-SUB

Iniesta later admitted his "blood was boiling" when he learned he was on the bench for the 2006 Champions League final against Arsenal.

With Barca 1-0 down at half-time, Frank Rijkaard moved to rectify that error by introducing the midfielder for Edmilson. It proved pivotal.

Fellow subs Henrik Larsson and Juliano Belletti, along with Samuel Eto'o, might have provided the telling touches to secure a 2-1 victory, but it was Iniesta's arrival that catalysed the comeback.

Future team-mate Thierry Henry, who was in that Arsenal side, recalled: "The person who really killed me was Andres. When he comes on, everything changes."

NB: Xavi dropped Zero goal and 1 assist in the whole 2005/06 La liga and UCL season

2. 2009: INIESTA AT STAMFORD BRIDGE

Chelsea fans might remember this Champions League semi-final second leg for a string of questionable refereeing decisions, but there is one moment that will forever stay with Barca fans.

The Catalans were moments from going out to a Michael Essien strike, but Iniesta's thumping effort from outside the box in the third minute of injury time sent them through on away goals.

Barca went on to beat Manchester United in the final and win the treble in Pep Guardiola's first season in charge. Iniesta's goal made it all possible.

Continue spewing Rubbish with confidence, you'll tell me how someone who retired after the 2008 euros still played in their world cup qualifiers, At this point I'm done, this thread has been derailed overly enough

3. 2010: WORLD CUP GLORY

Iniesta recalled his winning goal in extra time of the 2010 World Cup final as a moment of clarity, when it seemed as though the world drifted into slow motion.

That feeling of calm was a far cry from the year leading up to the tournament, in which the player struggled badly with mental and emotional concerns despite his success on the pitch. "It was like nothing was right," he recalled in his book, The Artist: Being Iniesta.

The loss of his friend Dani Jarque in 2009 - the Espanyol defender who died at just 26 years old - had deeply affected Iniesta, and it was only fitting he celebrated securing Spain's first World Cup by pulling off his shirt to reveal a message beneath reading: "Dani Jarque, always with us."

4. 2010: A CLASICO FOR THE AGES

Guardiola's Barca reached their peak in 2010-11 and arguably their greatest performance came in November 2010 against Real Madrid.

Jose Mourinho's first taste of the Clasico as Madrid coach ended in a 5-0 battering at Camp Nou in which Iniesta, Xavi and Sergio Busquets utterly dominated proceedings.

He was not among the goals - Xavi (from Iniesta's pass), Pedro, David Villa (twice) and Jeffren were on the scoresheet - but Iniesta's display underlined his position as one of the world's best midfielders in the finest team on the planet.

5 2011: UNITED BACK ON THE CAROUSEL

Alex Ferguson famously compared facing a midfield of Xavi and Iniesta to being stuck on a carousel after Barca beat United 2-0 in the 2009 Champions League final.

Two years later, Guardiola's men led the Red Devils on an even dizzier dance, winning 3-1 at Wembley to secure another European triumph. Such was Xavi, Busquets and Iniesta's control over events that even Ferguson could find no complaints over the scoreline.

"They do mesmerise you with the way they pass it," he said. "I would say they're the best team we've faced.

Everyone acknowledges that and I accept that. It's not easy when you've been well beaten like that to think another way. 
No one has given us a hiding like that. It's a great moment for them."

6. 2011: A WORLD RUN BY MIDFIELDERS

At the 2011 Club World Cup, Barca went into the final against Santos with David Villa injured and Pedro on the bench. Guardiola's solution? Let's midfield them to death.

Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta, Cesc Fabregas and Thiago Alcantara (oh, and Dani Alves) all lined up behind Lionel Messi in a 3-4-3. It gave Barca a grip on the game that never loosened.

Messi (twice), Xavi and Fabregas scored in a 4-0 win in which Barca had 71 per cent possession and a young Neymar was given a glimpse of his future. Iniesta, the beating heart of the side, described the performance as "unique... it was something to remember and enjoy".

7. 2012: THE BEST IN EUROPE

Iniesta was part of the Spain side that won Euro 2008 under Luis Aragones before Vicente del Bosque led them to World Cup glory. 

Two years later, one of the great modern eras of international football was secured as they defended their continental crown, dispatching Italy 4-0 in the final in Kiev.

Del Bosque's team comprised six midfielders and no strikers, a remarkable line-up that represented the zenith of tiki-taka football, where technical mastery of pass-and-move play trumped all else and the classic number nine was rendered obsolete. 

Iniesta was named man of the match, player of the tournament, and crowned UEFA's Best Player in Europe later that year.

8. 2015: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HISTORY

Another former Barca player in his first season as head coach, another treble, and another Iniesta assist on a big stage.

Luis Enrique's Barca took the lead against Juventus in Berlin through Ivan Rakitic after four minutes, as Iniesta became the first player to assist a goal in three different Champions League finals.

Alvaro Morata equalised but Luis Suarez and Neymar secured a 3-1 victory, as Iniesta claimed another man-of-the-match prize in a major final.

9. 2015: THE SANTIAGO BERNABEU STANDS AS ONE

Iniesta is one of the few Spanish players who is generally admired throughout rival fan bases and territories - even among Real Madrid supporters

In the Clasico of November 2015, Barca destroyed Madrid on home turf with a 4-0 victory in which Iniesta set up Neymar for a goal and scored a stunner himself.

Such was the supremacy of Iniesta that day - with Lionel Messi out injured - that the Bernabeu gave him a standing ovation as he left the pitch in the 77th minute. Only two other Barca players had ever been accorded such an honour: Ronaldinho, and Diego Maradona.

NB: Xavi was NEVER given a standing ovation by Madrid fans in his 17 years stay.

Even someone with an impaired vision knows it is an insult to compare Andres iniesta with frank Lampard whose club career without Drogba would have gone the way of his national Team. The real career Leach couldnt qualify three lions for euro 2008 at the peak of his career . That's enough to show how pointless it is trying to bring Frank Lampard who isnt even convincingly better than cesc Fabregas into the Andres iniesta conversation. When Andre's iniesta discussion is taking place,we will have to name about 5 midfielders below him before we remember lampard in the same discussion but the issue here is not about the penalty merchant and personal glory hunter who scoring more goals than strikers matter more to him than the teams collective achievements. Thank RDM to drop him to the base of the midfield were he would be limited going forward before we could lay hands on the holy grail.pls if you dont have deep knowledge about Chelsea from 07-12 don't disgrace your generation by quoting me. Now the myth I am trying to unearth here is about Andres iniesta is just good while xavi Hernandez is great which is quite worthy of my attention than iniesta vs Lampard comparison .Now those who are trying to sell us this agenda should tell you why no reputable publication has ever named xavi above iniesta? From fifa,to uefa to la Roja to Barcelona iniesta has always been above xavi .Imagine two player played in the same,same team all their lives and one names always appear above the other name yet the name above is the very good player whilst the name below is the great player. Isnt that ment ? ;Dhttps://www.iffhs.com/index.php/posts/954

He retired after 2008 tournament. It’s qualifiers now classified as tournament now. Did he go to the next tournament with Spain.

10. 2018: THE INIESTA FINAL

Iniesta had not yet confirmed he would be leaving Barca at the end of 2017-18, but he made sure to provide the perfect curtain call anyway.

Having played a reduced role for much of the season, Iniesta seemed to have been saving himself for a last hurrah: the Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.

Although nearly 34, he looked at the peak of his powers, dictating the game at his own tempo as Barca cantered to a 5-0 win.

He even scored the goal of the game - exchanging passes with Messi, dummying the keeper and firing home - before yet another ovation serenaded his teary-eyed exit from the last major final he would play for the club he joined as a 12-year-old.

Iniesta @ 34 won the DOUBLE

In that City vs Bayern game you mentioned, Alonso was targeted until he gave the ball away to Aguero who scored the equalizer

If I'm not mistaken,Bayern munich had a red card in that right ?

Nigga came all the way to Chelsea thread to write action series

Save your series nigga. All Iniesta has is stories and narratives. When your output is pitiful, you need to start explaining long stories

If you check the stories well sef, it's more narrative. "In the game against Santos, Xavi, Fabregas and Messi scored in a 4-1 win". Iniesta said "this and that after the game"

He scored the most beautiful goal in a 5-0 win Vs Sevilla in Copa final, yada yada yada."

Fück outta here with your carryalong stories of inconsequential goals covered with Wole Soyinka narrative. Remove Iniesta goal, it will still be a 4-0 win. We are used to difference makers, not carryalongs.

We don't care what he may have done in finals people took him to nigga. A leach who depends on people to take him to finals then come start yarning "when it mattered most".

If he played for my club, he would have been sent on loan to Portsmouth.
