Andrès Iniesta is one of the most loved players in the football world. He joined FC Barcelona when he was just 12 years old. Not just he made a huge difference, he along with Messi took FC Barcelona to the heights one can imagine. He doesn't have tattoos or any fancy things but a simple man who loves football. I've been watching him play for years now, and it feels really weird that he's leaving his boyhood club. The way he plays, his skills and his vision in the entire field is magical. Iniesta gave his 22 years to the Barca Nation, and proved that he is one of the greatest midfielders in the history of football, a magician in the field. Its like he has magical feet which makes things possible from impossible. He won more than 30 trophies which includes 8 LaLiga titles, 6 Copa del reys, 7 Spanish Super Cup titles, 4 UEFA Champions league, 3 FIFA Club World Cup titles, 3 UEFA Super Cup titles, 2 Euro Cups and a FIFA World Cup(2010, South Africa) and was the hero in the FIFA World Cup 2010.

Pep Guardiola once told Barcelona Legend Xavi Hernandez, "You will retire me, but this kid will retire us both". He spoke those words when Iniesta was just 15 years old. Guess it turned out to be true, he retired them all and who knew Pep can see the future.
It is true that no matter which club you support, you can never dislike Andrès Iniesta(i'm a Real Madrid guy btw). With just 1 home game left which will take place on Monday 21st against Real Sociedad, it is going to be the most saddest moment for Iniesta fans.
Some famous people on Iniesta....
He's fantastic. He makes the team work, the way he passes, his vision is incredible. He's so important for Barcelona.
~Sir Alex Ferguson
Iniesta is the boyfriend that every mother wants her daughter to have. The figures over his career tell you all you need to know. He is a magical player. There are few players in the world that can compare to him.
~Sergio Ramos
He is a great player. If people compare me to him, that makes me very proud. He is one of the best midfielders in the history of football. I like playing against him.
~Luka Modric
He reminds me of myself
~Zinedine Zidane
Barcelona's football will not be as same as before but whatever the reason he will be remembered as a Barcelona Legend forever. As the saying, things happen for the best. Let's see what is going to happen in the future.
One of his best quotes..
If you win without sacrifice you enjoy it but it's more satisfying when you have struggled.
Era of a Legend ends, Mago de despedida Iniesta.
Hope you liked it and i'll be very happy if you share your thoughts. Bye-Bye
