Andres Iniesta

Andres Iniesta scored the winning goal in the 2010 FIFA World Cup final against the Netherlands, securing Spain's first world title with a 1-0 victory in the 116th minute. Across 16 seasons at FC Barcelona, he won nine La Liga titles and four UEFA Champions Leagues, amassing 674 appearances and 57 goals while completing 91.2% of his passes—a completion rate 8% higher than the average top-tier midfielder. Iniesta earned three UEFA Best Player in Europe awards and was named in the FIFA FIFPro World XI nine times. In terms of leadership consistency, he outperforms #7 Severiano Ballesteros by winning the European Championship in 2008 and 2012, where he was named Player of the Tournament in the latter, a level of sustained international success unmatched by any Spanish golfer.
