I had a poster of Iniesta. He seemed like a different player to me: elegant, special... a genius. I watched all the Barcelona games to see how they played and the geniuses, Iniesta and Messi. After, I tried to imitate them, but it was difficult.

Ousmane Dembele

Iniesta makes the game look easy, but it's not. On the contrary, it's very difficult. I don't think people appreciate it enough when they watch him on TV. He played brutal passes and was always flawless - it felt like he was floating. For simplicity, there is no better player than Iniesta.

Ilkay Gundogan

I think the most important goal I scored in Spain was the first one because people were wary about me coming over to Spain as a player - they thought I was just there to sell shirts.

David Beckham

Andres Iniesta is the magic man, not just for Barcelona but also for Spain.

Lothar Matthaus

The one I liked to watch and follow was Iniesta, because Iniesta is a mix between an eight and a 10. It is a way I can do better, between eight and 10. It is the guy who always likes to have the ball, take the risks, and I think Iniesta was one of the best in the world.

Bruno Fernandes

Castilian Spanish-speaking Spain is big, but is bigger in addition with Catalonian-speaking Spain, Galician-speaking Spain and Basque-speaking Spain. Democratic Spain, Constitutional Spain, can not be separated from diversity and the respect to the citizenship.

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero

It's not that difficult to play well and win titles in a team like Barcelona, but it's in the national side where you see a player's true class. That was the case with figures like Pele, Diego Maradona and Zinedine Zidane. With Spain, Iniesta has shown that he is among the best players of all time and that's why I rate him higher than Messi or Ronaldo. Even though the latter two have incredible scoring records for their clubs, they still haven't won anything with Argentina or Portugal respectively.

Boris Becker

It is an honour that people are comparing me to Iniesta because of everything that he has achieved. But, and I have said this before, I do not like these kinds of comparisons. Andres is Andres, and I am Isco. I am a different person and player.

Isco

I would have given my arm to be able to do what Iniesta does when I was a player.

Ernesto Valverde

The best player in the world; whenever Iniesta is on the pitch he creates a spectacle.

Samuel Eto'o

I'm not just shooting 3s. I'm working on my mid-range game, working in the post as well, trying to mix in everything and be the most complete player I can both offensively and defensively.

Brook Lopez

If I went to Spain and lived there for five years, I'm not going to play for Spain. For me an English player should play for England, really.

Jack Wilshere

Many say that (Pete) Sampras is the greatest player. But I say with all due respect to the rest, that he (Roger Federer) is the most complete player in the world so far.

Marat Safin

I put it into my mind to become a complete player, a complete player.

Carlos Zambrano

I like adding stuff to my game, I want to be as complete a player as possible. So I want to be able to do a bit of everything and be good, or great at everything.

Brook Lopez

The press often ask me about Messi and Ronaldo and who is the best, but one thing for me is very clear. For me, the No. 1 is Andres Iniesta, because he is my team-mate for Spain, and I can see that he is able to do even more difficult things on the pitch.
