Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta has confirmed his plans to leave the club at the end of the season.
“This press conference is to communicate that this will be my last season at Barcelona,” the midfielder said in front of media and his teammates at the club’s Ciutat Esportiva.
Iniesta will end his 22-year-old association with the club after winning eight La Liga titles and four Champions Leagues as an integral part of the club’s most successful era.
The 33-year-old also won a sixth Copa del Rey final earlier this season, and he is on the verge of adding a ninth La Liga winner’s medal to cap off a glittering club career.
For many years Iniesta formed a domineering midfield partnership for Barcelona and Spain with Xavi Hernandez and the pair were among the three finalists for the 2010 Ballon d’Or, which was won by teammate Lionel Messi.
