Unbeatable list of honours
Jesús Carrillo
After the World Cup win for Spain in South Africa, Xavi Hernández, Carles Puyol, Andrés Iniesta and Thierry Henry can all boast an enviable list of honours at both international and club level.
The four Barca players have now won all the top titles open to a
professional footballer. At the club level, apart from their numerous domestic titles, they have
all won the Champions League and World Club Cup titles, indeed the Spanish trio each have two
Champions League medals to their names.
Success, success, success….
On the
international front, all four have won European Championship and World Cup winners medals: Puyol,
Iniesta and Xavi adding to their 2008 European success with Sunday’s win over Holland to
match Henry who won the World Cup with France in 1998 and the European tournament two years later.
European Championships next objective
Piqué, Busquets, Pedro and Valdés will be looking to add the European title to their honours
in two years time, whilst all the Barca players, with the exception of Henry who has already won
the tournament, will want to take the Confederations Cup in 2013 to complete an unbeatable list of
winners medals.
