An absolute joy to watch. His spectacular stoppage-time equaliser to knock Chelsea out of the 2009 Champions League semi-final was a particular highlight for me.
Forever in his debt. Never mind scoring the winner in the World Cup Final, this has to be his career highlight.
With all the turmoil in the Middle East, Ukraine and around the world, consensus has never seemed more unreachable, yet all can agree that the look on Full Kit Wànker's face as the ball fizzes past him is a thing of pure beauty.
Truly great player. Him, Xavi, and Busquets: unplayable at their best for years.
That said, went with a Rangers mate to see Barce in 2015. How often we'd sat through rubbish and wondered what it would be like to see QPR play like Barce. Alas, despite Iniesta, Busquets, Neymar, Suarez, and Messi, on the day, Barce played like QPR, with Iniesta hoiked on the hour in a one-nil home loss to Malaga.
Only took two of us in the stands to QPR a G.O.A.T. candidate and FC Barcelona!

I too had the pleasure of seeing him live. A truly magnificent player.
This was February 2012, peak-Pep Barcelona at home to Valencia in La Liga.
He seemed to have a force field around him that meant whenever and wherever he moved to he was always in space. But once the ball was lost the force would be turned off and he was up and at the opposition.
After the game in an Irish bar just of Placa Catalunya, I was discussing Iniesta with a Barnsley fan who had also been at the game and unsolicited pretty much said the same as me.
He was mesmeric but oddly, he was not the best player on the field that night; a certain L Messi scored 4 in a 5-1 victory.
