Andres Iniesta has pinpointed “extraordinary” Italy midfielder Marco Verratti as a threat to Spain on Saturday.
Verratti was close to becoming Iniesta’s teammate at Barcelona over the summer, but the Italian ultimately stayed at Paris Saint-Germain and will line up against the 33-year-old on Saturday.
“Verratti? He’s an extraordinary midfielder in terms of positioning on the field. We have to be careful when defending against him,” he said at a Press conference.
