Pep says Iniesta is best

Barcelona's new manager Pep Guardiola has a wealth of talent at his disposal but seems to prize Andres Iniesta the most. In fact he thinks Iniesta may be the best player in any club:

"The best in the world? If anybody deserves to be, it’s him, there no doubt about that...But it is impossible to win individual honours if your team doesn’t win. I have to remind my players about that from time to time...For a player of such a high calibre to be so willing to play wherever he is asked sets an example for all footballers and sportspeople...His best position? The players that tip the balance need to be hovering around the area. The nearer they are the better."

Pep may be right. From where I sat, I thought Iniesta was the best player on Spain's winning team at the Euros - better than even the great Xabi.
