End of an era for the huge Spanish midfielder, Andres Iniesta!

Indeed, as the Spanish website reveals, Iniesta is set to officially announce his decision on October 8, thus combining the date with his favorite number, which he wore for years on his shirt in Barcelona!
His presence on the pitches started from Albacetewhile he followed a long and highly successful career at Barcelona in which he recorded a total of 728 appearances scoring 57 goals and providing 135 assists. With the “Blaugrana” he conquered literally… everything (4 Champions League, 3 Club World Cups, 9 leagues, European Super Cup, 6 Copa del Rey and 7 Spanish Super Cup).
Of course he was a member of the Spanish national team, which from 2008 to 2012 won two Euros and a World Cup, being the scorer in the 2010 final in Johannesburg against the Netherlands.
Iniesta left Barcelona in 2018, moving to Japan for Vissel Kobe, while in 2023 he also wore the shirt of Emirates Club from which he left in July 2024, remaining inactive in football until today, where he made his decision to retire .
