From the moment I first saw Andres Iniesta captain Spain's Under-19 team to victory at the European U-19 Championships, I knew I has seen a special player; One that few would have the pleasure of watching and that many would have the misfortune of only reading about for decades to come. Immaculate skill, precise passing, unbelievable vision - And that is on a bad day for Iniesta!

Iniesta does not have the explosive pace of Leo Messi, nor the potent shot of Christiano Ronaldo, nor the physique of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. But what he does on a football is so unique; currently there is not other player on the planet who even comes close. It is telling that Barcelona with their plethora of stars have never won the Euroepan Champions League when Iniesta was unavailable.

Euro 2012 would not be the same without and we expect more jaw dropping performances from Iniesta.
