News about Sergi Roberto

A documentary was made about Andres Iniesta four years ago that perfectly encapsulated why he will always be remembered as the greatest player in Spain's long list of footballing legends.  'Andres Iniesta: The unexpected hero,' was the title, and the description was just as accurate. 'The story of a normal person, who does extraordinary things. Someone who pursues and achieves triumphs through taking care of the small details.' Quiet, shy and thoughtful, he kept out of the headlines and just went about his business. It's hard to really think of anyone having ever been so good at something, and yet staying so humble.

In the midst of a back injury that kept him on the sidelines for three months, the 33-year-old hasn't had a lot of game time this season.
