Andrés Iniesta

Andrés Iniesta made 442 La Liga appearances for Barcelona and won 9 La Liga titles — equalling Xavi's record. His ability to operate in impossibly tight spaces at maximum speed made him the most difficult player to dispossess in La Liga history — opposition teams regularly averaged 0.6 ball recoveries per 90 minutes against him. He scored the World Cup-winning goal for Spain against the Netherlands in 2010 and was named Player of the Tournament. He retired as one of the four or five greatest midfielders in football history.
