Joy, tears as Barca legend exits

Andres Iniesta capped his 22 major titles in 16 years for Barcelona in style by winning against Real Sociedad this weekend.

The club celebrated him with banners, standing ovation and a parade after the match. He was all tearful in exit!

“This is a difficult day but I have spent 22 marvellous years here,” he said. “It’s been a pride and a pleasure to defend and represent this badge, which for me is the best in the world.

“Thanks to all my team-mates, each and every one. I will miss you all so much. And thank you to the fans, for all your love, everything you’ve made me feel since I arrived here as a boy. I leave as a man. I will keep you in my heart forever.”

The 34 year old has won La Liga nine times, four Champions League titles, three Club World Cups and six Copa del Rey trophies.
