Debate Time!

Andrés Iniesta

Vs

Zinedine Zidane

So there was a debate that Guillem Balague has got going on Twitter at the moment, with the question. Is Iniesta better than Zidane. It is an intriguing one.

I'd say Zidane is greater, but Iniesta is so humble and you kinda need that quality when playing alongside messi, if zidane played in todays barca I think he would hog the ball too much for his own good.

If we're talking about football skills, I think Iniesta is better (and I'm French). Additionally, Iniesta is a lot more regular than Zidane was in his career, we all remember his goals in the 1998 WC final and the CL finals vs Leverkussen, but he has never been really regular. Iniesta has been more regular these last seasons in his performances, and I would even rate him above Messi for this 2012-2013, despite Messi's incredible season.

But Zidane was also a leader and he practically took France to the 2006 WC final by himself before headkicking Materazzi.
So I would put, for now, Zidane above Iniesta, but not by a lot, and Iniesta is just 28 and already has won more trophies than Zidane in his entire career.

Impossible for me to separate them, both ability and achievement-wise. My nostalgia is making me lean toward Zizou a little, but I can't really choose one over the other.

I think Iniesta is better and not really that close lol

The comparison was more fair like 3-4 years ago, probably with Zizou winning then.

Only if you're looking at trophies won. Just because he's won more titles doesn't mean he's the better player.

Especially if you consider the titles might not of been won if you take Messi out of Barcelona. If you took Ronaldo (fat) out of Real when Zidane was their, he still would of had Raul to pass too....xD

What about the Spanish team then?
Anyway, both players played in very strong teams (France at this time and Real vs Spain of now and Barcelona), so comparing their teamplayers isn't going to help us in this discussion x)
Both players won every major trophies and were key in these successes, it's really difficult to compare them... But like I said, Iniesta is 28, so I believe he will end up better than Zidane, since midfielders usually get better with experience (see Pirlo or Xavi) and he is already on par if not better than him at football. I just feel Iniesta cannot become a leader due to his personality, so he will never achieve the kind of 'fame' Zidane could achieve.

On another note, French people actually consider that Platini was and still is greater than Zidane.
