Andrés Iniesta Luján FC Barcelona 1999

Andrés Iniesta joined Barça as a twelve-year-old in 1996 after he was discovered playing for Albacete. Voted tournament MVP when FC Barcelona played host to the Premier Cup World Finals, he scored a number of crucial goals including the “golden goal” which brought victory over Argentina’s Rosario Central and the world title. He quickly graduated to the senior team, making his La Liga debut against FC Bruges at just 18-years-of-age.

An incredibly hard-working, natural and versatile player, Iniesta is skilful both on the ball and in his passing game. His ability to hold midfield or play a more attacking role has ensured that he is a regular first choice for both club and country.

He played a key role in the Spanish national team that won both the U-16 & U-19 European Championships in 2001 & 2002 and joined the national team for the 2006 World Cup. He was an integral part of the successful Euro 2008 team which gave Spain their first European trophy in 34 years.
