Everyone sees what you're trying to do but Iniesta is not better than Messi or CR. It's a sad truth but Iniesta's winning looks like a sympathy vote more than anything because both CR and Messi have very little between them.

Iniesta was about as good as Pirlo so it makes no sense for Pirlo to not even be top 3.

I predict like Juve, Chelsea will end up with a midfielder as their European top scorer.

Bendtner ffs

After years of Amauri, Matri, Injured Quag etc we end up with BENDTNER.

It's not official yet right?

it was in a reply to josh who said Hunter finished top scorer in EL

I bet when Cisse gets a full season under his belts his stats will be alot worse

This. they were so damn close in term of performance but non of them won the CL final or Euro final. there would've been a fight over who deserved more if one of Messi or Ronaldo won this.

Iniesta clearly wasn't the best player in Europe but that's what happen when your country win the Euro 2012.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Aug 30, 2012 6:41 pm

Those stats were based on a full season Hala, it's based on his stats for Newcastle and Freiburg.

Anyway he will get a lot worse but mainly because of that damn 4-4-2 Sad

Ronaldo is probably happy that Messi didn't win it

Not yet mate but put it this way, he's closer than any other striker we've been officially after and rumours of him getting a medical today or tomorrow are heating up.

Don illusionista :bow:

Only reason Messi didnt win is because he won too many times in a row, he is therefore now judged on a different standard than everyone else; he has to win all the big trophies as well as record goals for everyone to think he had a good season.

As for ronaldo, laliga isnt enough tbh. early EURO antics dont help either plus the fact that his all-round play hasn't improved since he won these awards. He needs to evolve, continue scoring goals but have another dimension to his play ffs!!

Gil, is Bale still the best winger in the league for you? lol grow up and mature.

It's not about that Zeal.

Could you imagine what would happen if this forum was around back when Zidane won over Ronaldo and Henry.

People are short sighted , they overrate stats to no end because it's an easy measurement they don't have watch , analyse and study games.

Iniesta is an amazing player, 2nd best player in the world for me, he might not deserve this particular award trhis year but don't use something as elementary as stats to *bleep* discredit it.

Freiburg ended 12th of the BL last season. They were sort of a surprise team as everybody expected them to go straight down to the 2nd BL.

BTW, while Cissé still played for them, Freiburg was last of the table with only 13 points. After Cissé left they started an amazing run to get to midtable heights.

Thing is Le Sam, Iniesta wasn't even that good during the season.

He was injured a lot and just didn't perform....

It's nothing to do with stats it's to do with the fact Iniesta just didn't perform.

And league seasons are being completed ignored ( once again) because the player in question was very good at the Euros.

Also Hala when he was at Freiburg they was in the Bundesliga, not sure about now.
