But he certainly has the technique. And oh, he is left footed too, similar to Messi!

Compared to Bojan, he doesn't seem to possess the same strength, and so I don't imagine he'll be able to break through quite as quickly. I do see him getting first team action, however. Remember, Ruud, Raúl, Guti, a lot of these players are aging. The problem with David Moreno, other than Real’s awful record with youngsters in recent years – witness Soldado – is his physique.

David Moreno of Real Madrid is a superb talent but I dooubt whether he will be able to thread his way to Real's first team. There's so much of traffic in there.

There were ample opportunities for Iniesta to do that but he just shot wide too many times. No one's doubting his passion/creativity/incision or anything. He was simply too wasteful, thats all.

Rijkaard's mistakes, other than leaving out Gudjohnsen - against my advice, I might add! - was to not introduce Bojan at an earlier stage. As for the reader who has suggested that Iniesta had a poor game, I would rejoin that you clearly watched a different match. Iniesta was the only player with any passion, creativity, incision, energy, anything really. A couple of his shots went awry, but this was only because he was forced to work alone against the entire Real midfield. All Spanish newspapers agree with me.
