UEFA Champions League Final 2015: FC Barcelona player ratings
LM Andres Iniesta 8.5
The deserving “Man of the Match”, Andres Iniesta continues to show why he is arguably the best big-game player in the world. Now with yet another Champions League final victory under his belt, Iniesta has added another sterling performance to a shelf that includes a World Cup winner against the Netherlands.
Iniesta was simply unstoppable last night, and he went on some fantastic dribbles that were finished off by purposeful passing. The way he times his runs and passes is simply sublime, and he’s an absolutely rare talent. Anybody who criticized his La Liga performances due to his lack of assists in the league was being far too critical, because the smart passing and mazy running on and off-the-ball have always been there; he showed it to the world last night, especially in the build-up to Rakitic’s strike in the fourth.
