Andres Iniesta's 'Man Of The Match' Haul Is Truly Incredible

Following the official announcement of Andres Iniesta's departure from Barcelona, we remember his incredible feat of being named 'Man of the Match' in the World Cup final, European Championship final and Champions League final.

The only player to do so. Legend.

Iniesta, 33, is set to leave the iconic Camp Nou after enjoying a glittering career.

And while representing Spain on international duty, he's won the two biggest honours in the shape of the 2008 & 2012 European Championship, as well as the prestigious 2010 World Cup.

Not only has he guided his side to victory in the likes of the Champions League, Euro's and World Cup, but he's also been named 'Man of the Match' in each final.

In 2010, Spain beat the Netherlands to win their first World Cup courtesy of a 116th minute winner from Iniesta. He produced a 'Man of the Match' performance in South Africa.

Two years later, Spain won back-to-back European Championships. Iniesta got his hands on another European title, after thrashing their Italian counterparts with Iniesta masterminding their downfall, while also being named 'Player of the Tournament'.

Barcelona's last Champions League triumph came in 2015.

Iniesta's heroics in the middle of the park saw him pick up 'Man of the Match' honours.

Football, Iniesta has completed mate.

Meanwhile, On Friday, Iniesta sadly confirmed his footballing career lies elsewhere, putting an end to his unbelievable Barcelona spell.
