How anybody can put Iniesta ahead of Messi is beyond me. Messi was out of this world for the whole season only for Iniesta to steal the headlines on the last game of the season, now everybody remembers Iniesta's contribution more. Pure joke to think anybody other than Messi deserves the number 1 spot...

It wasn't just that game, it was the game at Stamford Bridge too, but Messi does deserve it yeh.

1. Messi
2. Ronaldo
3. Iniesta
4. Xavi
5. Gerrard
6. Eto'o
7. Vidic
8. Lampard
Scholes
 

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

Iniesta performed when it mattered most, Both games against Chelsea, the CL final & Real Madrid, Iniesta was Barca's best player, whilst Messi was pretty non-existant. I've been back and forth, but i've decided that Iniesta deserves it more because had he not performed in any of those games, Barca wouldn't have won the CL. You could quite clearly see that Messi was absolutely knackered towards the last 2 months of the season, that's not his fault, because it was his first ever season without a serious injury and that was bound to happen

I can't help but think that Barca could've won everything without Messi, they just wouldn't have done it as emphatically as they did. Without Ini, they wouldn't have done it altogether

Xavi was better against Madrid but they were both wizards on the night.

Messi: 38 goals, 16 assists

What was Iniesta's record KOL?

End of.

Messi and Henry were both better than Xavi against Madrid.

Weren't you the same person that said stats don't tell the entire story, and no that's end of at all.

Was Kaka the best player in 06/07?

No.
Yes. Messi was far more threatening, and contributed more in the final third than Xavi. Same with Henry.

No, Ronaldo was but Kaka won based on his amazing 10 goals in the CL.

Xavi 9 - Just call him Mr. Through Ball. He made it look so easy - granted, with the aid of some poor Madrid defending - as time and again he sliced open the back line.

Yaya Toure 7.5 - Did enough to keep the pressure on Madrid at a time when they might have been able to move the ball quickly out of defence.

Iniesta 7.5 - Started slowly, but his wizardy on the ball was worth waiting for as he hit his stride. Not his best performance, but still a cut above what most players could provide.

Messi 9 - Helped to turn the tide of the match with that opening assist, and it was all one way from there as the youngster enjoyed a fine evening.

Eto'o 6.5 - Looks jaded and creaky, and not the predator that he was earlier in the season. Nothing really seemed to come off for him until that late assist for Pique, which admittedly showed his spirit.

Henry 9.5 - A majestic showing both on and off the ball. Two goals? That's the least his night's work deserved. Not only has he silenced his doubters, but he has them bowing at his feet. What a performance!
