Luis Enrique is Spain's answer to Paul Scholes, a talented midfielder with a deadly eye for goal.
The experienced Barca star is also one of an elite band of players to have turned out for Spain's top clubs.
He initially made his name for Real Madrid in the capital, but stunned the Bernabeu faithful by leaving for their great Catalan rivals in 1996.
Since then he's been an integral part of the Nou Camp outfit.
And for much of recent times he's been a model of consistency in a team of stars that has disappointed so often.
Talented footballer who makes great runs into the box and finishes well.
Also pretty good in the air for his size, and always a danger to opposing defences.
A World Cup veteran who will provide plenty of experience in a Spain squad that is finally expected to deliver in the Far East this summer.
