SpainCounted from the international goal archive — every scorer-credited goal in the matches it covers, 1916 to today. A record of covered matches, not a complete career count; own goals never join a scorer's tally.
Andrés Iniesta Luján is a Spanish professional football manager and former player who played as a midfielder. He is the manager of UAE First Division League club Gulf United. He spent most of his career at La Liga club Barcelona. Widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, he was lauded for his balance, ball control and agility in close spaces, combined with his skill, composure, and flair on the ball.

In the line-ups
29 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2006–2018The archive holds 29 team sheets naming Andrés Iniesta in Spain's starting line-up, from 2006-06-23 to 2018-06-25.
29 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
