The Barcelona midfielder has been rewarded for his performances in Poland and Ukraine, with La Roja having a total of 10 players in the team of the tournament
Uefa has announced that Spain midfielder Andres Iniesta has been named the best player of Euro 2012.
The 28-year-old started in each of Spain's six matches at the Euros and playing a leading role in La Roja's campaign in Poland and Ukraine - which culminated with a 4-0 thrashing of Italy in the final.
Iniesta, who was chosen by the 11-man technical team of Uefa, grabbed one assist in the 551 minute he was on the pitch at the Euros.
He is also part of Uefa's 23-man Team of the Tournament, which contains 10 players from Spain and four from Italy.
Golden Boot winner Fernando Torres did not make the cut, most likely because he played only 189 minutes, with Mario Balotelli, Cesc Fabregas, Cristiano Ronaldo, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Silva the five attackers chosen.
