Andres Iniesta, the legendary midfielder from Barcelona, responded to a question on Sharjah Sports TV by saying, “No.” It never seemed unfair to me. Being nominated made me joyful. Being included among the finest is a pleasure.

“If you ask me whether I would have liked to win a Ballon D’or, I would say yes. But football was not unfair with me and my awards. I’m very happy with my career and with everything that happened.”
He went to add: “For me, being a Barca player is the greatest trophy.” Classic Iniesta – honest and humble. During his time at Camp Nou, the midfielder racked up 57 goals and 136 assists in 674 games for the club.
He’s Barca’s second most decorated player with 32 titles to his name. He did win it all with the national team two, becoming both world champion (in 2010) and the champion of Europe (2008, 2012). At 39, Andres is still playing. He bagged two goal contributions in his first four games for the UAE side Emirates already.
