Andres Iniesta: Spain and Barcelona’s Bullfighter with the Artist’s Touch - Bleacher Report 🔗 ⚽️ 🌍 🇪🇸 🔴🔵

He embodied a type of high-quality, very technical football. It didn’t matter that he wasn’t physically imposing—that he didn’t have a big frame or that he hadn’t ferocious speed or he wasn’t great in the air. He was all about football based on touch. It was something different—this notion that you could play the best football in the world with total disregard for physique. In all the years I’ve been reporting football, I never thought it possible you could win this way.
