I Prefer Watching Iniesta Over Messi – Cannavaro

Fabio Cannavaro discussed his love for Andres Iniesta, saying he watched the former Barcelona midfielder over Lionel Messi.

Iniesta, now playing for J-League outfit Vissel Kobe, celebrated his 36th birthday on Monday.

The former Spain international left Barcelona in 2018 after a trophy-laden stint with the La Liga giants.

Cannavaro, who won two La Liga titles as a Real Madrid player, said he always had eyes on Iniesta, widely regarded as one of the best midfielders of all-time.

“He played with such style, you couldn’t help but love him when you saw him play,” the Italian told AS.

“He was a perfect professional, very humble … I loved him.

“Everybody might have been watching Messi but I was watching Iniesta.”
