It’s precisely 365 days since Barcelona’s world class playmaker Andres Iniesta last made a direct contribution to a goal. Incredibly, the Spaniard has gone a year without either a goal or an assist, so here’s a look at what’s gone on in the world in that time…

1) Luis Suarez bit someone AGAIN
Not a great sign for either player if Suarez has more bites than Iniesta has goals or assists in the last year…
2) Arsenal won a trophy
Arsenal actually won a trophy, and then won another one if you count the Community Shield. Really time to up your game, Andres.
3) Real Madrid won five trophies
It hasn’t been the best year for Barcelona in general, with Real Madrid winning five trophies since Iniesta last notched a goal or an assist.
4) Chelsea knocked out of the Champions League – twice
With last season’s defeat to Atletico Madrid and this season’s surprise loss to PSG, Chelsea have been knocked out of the Champions League twice since Iniesta’s last goal contribution.
5) Chelsea in yet another race row
First John Terry, now this. Chelsea have inevitably been involved in another race row in the last year after their fans abbused Souleymane S on a Paris Metro train.
6) Man United have had three managers
Manchester United are going through the managers quicker than Iniesta can do anything on the pitch, with David Moyes, Ryan Giggs and Louis van Gaal all taking charge of the side in the last 365 days.
7) Harry Kane has scored 33 goals
Having previously only scored one goal in his Tottenham career, Harry Kane now has 33 – Iniesta has some catching up to do with this previously unknown forward.
8) Nicklas Bendtner scored a hat-trick
Getting ridiculous now. Even Nicklas Bendtner has scored goals in the last year, with the Dane even managing a hat-trick for his country this week.
9) He’s earned £3.6m
The goals and assists have dried up, but the money hasn’t. Iniesta has made £3.6m in the last year for simply passing the ball sideways!
10) The Earth has traveled 93 million miles
That’s a lot of miles – how much further through the universe do we have to go before Iniesta gets on the scoresheet or sets up a goal again?
