There is a commentator in the NBA who says on many occasions, if you don't like that play you don't like basketball, this is the same, if you Hate on Iniesta you basically hate on football!
after he scored a goal in the final of 2010 world cup he remembered and honoured his best freind dani jorque who passed away in 2009 , Dani jorque was a key player for espanyol
he is maybe rivals in clubs, but he is hero for all spain people when he score the final goal that make spain lift the world cup trophy, beside he is a respectfull person, no scandal or issue in or out of field.
Spaniards might be divided over clubs. But, they unite in national jersey. And, Infinite Iniesta gifted them World Cup trophy in 2010. He deserves standing ovation in every stadium in and out of Spain.
And when he did that he showed a shirt that read "Dani Jarque always with us". Jarque was a player for the other team from Barcelona, Espanyol, so that's another reason why the Espanyol fans applauded
