Barcelona winger Neymar has described his team-mate Andres Iniesta as the best midfielder that he has ever seen.
Iniesta, at the age of 32, is now in the latter stages of his career, but the Spaniard’s quality remains very much intact and he has produced some excellent performances recently.
As reported by Sport, Neymar told LaLiga: “For me he is the best midfielder I have ever seen, for his quality, for everything. There’s no need to say anything more. He’s incomparable because he’s very, very different. He has an elegance and a class that distinguishes him from the rest.”
A superb distributor of the ball, Iniesta has an average pass accuracy of 87% in La Liga this season, and, although he has had several injury problems in recent campaigns, the La Masia product remains a fine player when fit.
Iniesta has spent his entire senior career to date at Barcelona, with whom he has won a remarkable eight La Liga titles, while he has also won the Champions League and the the Copa Del Rey four times each.
Barcelona, however, face a battle to win the La Liga title this season – they are currently three points adrift of leaders Real Madrid despite having played a game more.
