He is exactly the player Wenger talks about, someone who you cannot use stats to measure. No assists, no goals but influence the game so much. Probably their most influential player in the game yesterday. The way he dribble past everyone opens Espanyol defence entirely. I don't think I have ever seen a player who is so futsal-ish that plays in midfield.
Tbh I thought he was quite average last season compared to his own standards but the single best thing about Iniesta is that he always, always turns up in games that matter. In most cases, I feel the term 'big game player' is abused but Iniesta has a sense of occasion like few other players I've seen - whether it's for Spain or Barcelona.
Also it helps that, unlike so many of the Barcelona players, Iniesta doesn't act like a prick.
