At that tournament, he was an integral part of Spain’s triumphant run to the title of World Cup champions for the first time. During the current season of the Japanese league, he plays the midfielder position.

Because soccer is more to him than just a job—it is both his love and his immortal life—his lengthy career appears to have no end in sight. This is made abundantly evident in this compilation of remarks and musings by Andrés Iniesta on the impact that sport has had on his personal life.
