19 of the best quotes on Andres Iniesta: ‘It’s like he has a magic wand’

Andres Iniesta won everything there is to win during his career with Barcelona and Spain – including the respect of everyone involved in football.

The La Masia graduate made 674 appearances for Barca between 2002 and 2016, lifting an incredible 32 trophies, plus the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain.

“Andres and I are similar in that we both use our bodies a lot, to avoid opponents. But he has something that always amazes me. There’s always a moment when you think you’re going to catch him, when you think you’re going to get the ball off him, but you can’t.

“Iniesta is the boyfriend that every mother wants her daughter to have. The figures over his career tell you all you need to know. He is a magical player. There are few players in the world that can compare to him.”

“The press often ask me whether Messi or Ronaldo is the best, but for me something is very clear: Andres Iniesta is the number one. He is able to do even more difficult things on the pitch. He is magic with the ball and so influential.”
