Iniesta named player of the Euro 2012 tournament

Spanish star Andres Iniesta was named player of Euro 2012 on Monday by European football governing body UEFA.

The 28-year-old – who was man of the match in Spain’s historic 4-0 win over Italy in Sunday’s final – was selected by a technical committee made up of 11 people.

Iniesta, who prior to the final was battling out the player of the tournament award with Andrea Pirlo, succeeds compatriot and Barcelona team-mate Xavi, who won the award at the 2008 edition.
