Football world pays tribute to Iniesta's incredible achievements at Barcelona
The tributes came pouring in during the moments that followed Andres Iniesta’s announcement that his legendary career at Barcelona will conclude at the end of the season.
News of Iniesta’s impending departure triggered plenty of praise from all over the continent as former and current managers, teammates and bitter rivals on the pitch took a moment to pay their respects and remember the 33-year-old’s incredible 22-year career with the Catalan side:
Guardiola on Iniesta: “I want to thank him. People think managers help the players but he helped me understand the game better, just watching how he plays the game. Hopefully he comes back to Barcelona to teach young players, or professional players, what he showed on the pitch.”
