Xavi named “Spectacular” Barcelona Star as Spain’s “most talented” player
Spain did manage to return to the European throne last summer and was one of its favorites to win the 2026 World Cup, but it needs to do something that matches the dominance they enjoyed in the 2000s.
Spain benefited on the international stage as Barcelona competed with Real Madrid for the club throne. Stars like Sergio Ramos and Gerard Pique put their competition aside, putting the best of the sword on the sword and leaving several countries behind. From September to May, it was the era of El Clasico, but since then, Spain has dominated.
With Vincente Del Bosque in charge, Espanyol beat the Netherlands in the last way to win the World Cup in 2010. Then, two years later, they beat Italy to win the 2012 European Cup in their second European Championship victory after the 2008 victory. And in the 2012 competition, Xavi specialized in the show.
Barcelona legends are often located in the beautiful center of the summit of Spain. He is their controller – a team that can end the summer with a perfectly progressive gradual gradual stance – without him, there might not be a World Cup, or a European champion. He is so influential.
But even one of the best midfielders of all time, there is no choice but to admit that another star is the most talented player in Spanish history. In short, just as good as Xavi, another star is the best star ever seen in the country.
Xavi: Iniesta is the “most talented” player of Spain’s history
From Ronaldinho and Lionel Messi to Gerard Pique and Carles Puyol, Barcelona enjoyed some incredible combinations in their best years, but maybe nothing is as perfect as Xavi and Andres Iniesta. It was unshakable when the Spanish duo was with Sergio Busquets, and the three duo brought this invincible place to the international stage.
Yet as great as all three, Xavi only had one answer when choosing the “most talented” player in Spanish history – claiming Iniesta is a truly outstanding performance in the country.
“To me, Andres is the most talented player in Spanish history. His talent is great. If we talk about this guy, I don’t know where to start. He is admirable in any sense, it’s a role model for others and a personalization of teamworkers.
“He is the leader on the court and always wants the ball. Do you know the importance of that? He asks for it when many people don’t want it anywhere near them because they have no way out. Andres always wants the ball.”
Whether Lamine Yamal and others eventually surpass Iniesta’s legacy is another debate. Of course, if he does intend to do so, he will need to find a way to beat the 2010 midfielder’s signature win against the Netherlands.
