Andres Iniesta has already demonstrated what La Croqueta can do time and time again while he's playing for Barcelona and Spain. Can he repeat the feat and unlock the defence on the biggest stage of them all, in the 2010 World Cup final in South Africa?
La Croqueta - refers to the move itself, shifting the ball from the left to the right and splitting the defenders.
Croquette is a small fried sort of appetizer, usually filled with cheese or chicken and comes from the French word to crunch. Maybe that's where the reference to the move comes from, to just beat the defenders without getting crunched inbetween them.
