<p>"I was only waiting for the pass from Cesc Fabregas and he delivered in a perfect way. He was very quick and for a moment I was alone and I really thought I was offside but I controlled it well and when I hit the ball I knew it had to go in," Iniesta told a news conference.<br /><br />The extra-time strike on Sunday was the only goal in a bad-tempered final against the Netherlands and secured Spain's first World Cup victory.<br />Iniesta was asked how he felt afterwards.<br /><br />"It is difficult to explain," he said. "I can only say that I feel very happy. Very happy...playing my football and doing my job and scoring such an important goal for all.<br /><br />"To be able to make millions of people happy is something priceless. <br />“This is what gratifies my job -- to be able to make so many people happy who follow us and suffer with the team. People's happiness has no price."<br /><br />The Barcelona player went to South Africa after a difficult season plagued with injuries.<br />"It was a difficult season and that's it. But then came the World Cup and I got into it with a lot of desire and ambition. I was hoping that everything finished well and despite losing the first match (1-0 to Switzerland) we came back from that, the team recovered well and everything ended as we know."</p>
