Ramos: Iniesta is the best

Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has identified Barclona midfield dynamo Andres Iniesta as the one player he would like to have in his side.

Ramos also pointed to Barca talisman Lionel Messi as the most difficult player to mark and praised team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo for his professionalism.

"I
would take Iniesta but Messi is difficult to mark because of his
quality, speed and his ability to run with the ball stuck to his feet,"
he declared.

"What I like about Cristiano is his
professionalism, his work rate and his obsession with seeking
perfection and always looking to improve."

Speaking to AS, the versatile 23-year-old reluctantly acknowledged that Barcelona are worthy Primera Liga leaders at this stage of the season having won more games than any other team.

"I
don't know if they are deserve to be winter champions but they have won
the most games. Teams know them better now and know that they like to
counterattack like last season," he noted.
