A thread on why James Milner is a better midfielder than Andrés Iniesta (INDIVIDUALLY*) and should be considered as one of the greatest ever.

I show you stats, facts and sources to everything.

I will only use time in Barcelona and not include his time at China.

Game played,

Milner: 727
Iniesta: 674

Goals,

Milner: 85
Iniesta: 57

Assists,

Milner: 123
Iniesta: 140

TOTAL G+A;

Milner: 208
Iniesta: 197

So that's their ALL time stats but let's look at their UCL campaigns.

Games played,

Milner: 51
Iniesta: 130

Goals,

Milner: 4
Iniesta: 11

Assists,

Milner: 16
Iniesta: 30

TOTAL G+A

Milner: 20
Iniesta: 41

G+A ratio,

Milner: 39%
Iniesta: 31%

If you don't understand:

MILNER has contributed to 39% of the games he's played while INIESTA has contributed to 31% of the games he's played

Now let's look at their BEST season in the Champions League.

Milner 17/18 vs Iniesta 10/11.

Time played (minutes),

Milner: 875
Iniesta: 899

Goals,

Milner: 0
Iniesta: 1

Assists,

Milner: 8
Iniesta: 7

TOTAL G+A,

Milner: 8
Iniesta: 8

G+A ratio,

Milner played less.

That is the end of my thread. I could go more in depth and completely expose Iniesta as a fraud but i will do that another day.

Here is the link to all the stats. Just search their name and it should all be there. https://www.transfermarkt.com/
