6 Andrés Iniesta
Andres Iniesta joined the Barcelona youth system as a 12-year-old and has become a vital cog in the Nou Camp machine. He made his senior debut in 2002 in the Champions League against Brugge.
In the 2004/5 season he missed only one League game and in 2008 he was ninth in the World Player of the Year award list. He has played over 200 League matches for Barca and his intricate passing has been key to their success, especially during their Treble season in 2008/09.
He has played for Spain since the age of 14 and made his senior team debut in 2006. He was part of the Fifa World Cup squad that year and also starred at Euro 2008, where he was named in the Uefa Team of the Tournament.
