Is Iniesta the best midfielder in the world?

Question

Wayne Rooney stated after the 2009 Champions League Final that Andres Iniesta was the best midfielder in the world – is this an accurate assessment of the Spain international?

Answer 1

Andres Iniesta has no weaknesses as a modern day midfielder. His passing ability is rivaled only by teammate Xavi, is vision is superb and his knack of retaining possession is a skill which every manager craves their midfielder playmakers to have. The Spaniard is certainly up there with the very best in the world and would walk into any team’s starting line-up on the planet.
