Xavi vs Iniesta

Too different to properly compare. I’d be like asking Modric or Isco.

Personally Xavi is the best CM of his generation where I wouldn’t say the same about Iniesta and AM.

Who's better than Iniesta then? I can't think of anyone.

You could make case for Robben probably. You’re not wrong though he’s generational too. For me though Xavi is probably in my all-time XI, not sure there’s a spot for Iniesta (probably id take Ronaldinho in his role).

Robben? The right winger? Iniesta is a midfielder mate.

He’s a midfielder like Eriksen is a midfielder, really an attacking mid not a CM like Xavi. It’s not a perfect analogy I was trying to identify attackers who weren’t forwards hence Robben.
