Players like Jeremy Mathieu, that have been lesionados more time that Iniesta, have added this season more minutes that the captain of the FC Barcelona. It is clear that Luis Enrique has the will to reserve to the maximum to one of the big genii of the staff blaugrana, although it will be missing to see until which point the quantity of minutes in the bench of Iniesta is or no exaggerated.
