Iniesta eclipsed by Cesc? Cesc (and Torres, and Villa, and Ramos...) will play the Euro because of Iniesta.
I prefer Iniesta, mainly because he is technically better than Cesc. I don’t see many differences in others aspects of the game, maybe Cesc has more stamina but I guess it’s due to the lack of training at Barça. Well Iniesta is more versatile than Cesc.
That said, Iniesta is an attacking midfielder while Cesc is a playmaker (a box-to box player in the making). So they are different players and compatible.
Re Xavi:
When Barça has the possession of the ball, Xavi is great (not as great as he used to be before his knee injury in 2006), second best playmaker of the world after Pirlo
imo, but when the game goes physical or the other team increases the pressure he offers nothing.
The last Barça game was on freview in UK, isn’t it? First half, I thought that Xavi was finally playing well for Barça (he’s been outstanding for Spain tbf), Second half, I was wrong, as soft as ever.
