Andrés Iniesta might have called an end to his glittering career with Barcelona, but the man’s legendary career continues to build.
FIFA and FIFPro have released the 55 footballers up for this year’s FIFA FIFPro World 11.
The Spanish midfielder is once again looking to secure a place in FIFA’s team, with this being the 12th consecutive year he’s appeared on the list.
