“The two clubs of my life will come together to celebrate something very special in Tokyo”, wrote the mythical number ‘8’ on social networks
Andres Iniesta is preparing to live one of the most emotional days of the final stretch of his sports career. The midfielder from Fuentealbilla will meet again with the club he loves on June 6, when Barcelona faces Vissel Kobe in a friendly match. The match will be played in Japan after the last league commitment of the barca in front of Celtic.
It will not be the first time that Iniesta has faced his former team. In fact, the last visit of the Barcelona team to Japanese territory in 2019 led to the first face-to-face between the world champion and his former teammates.
Despite the passing of the years, Iniesta’s feelings towards Barça remain intact and the legendary number ‘8’ is looking forward to a day that will be very special for him. “Since I arrived in Kobe in 2018 I have lived great moments, I have grown and I have learned together with everyone who has surrounded me& rdquor;Iniesta started in a message published yesterday on social networks.
A short text in which the former Barça player acknowledges the importance of the appointment for him: “The two clubs in my life will come together to celebrate something very special in Tokyo on June 6th. It will be a day full of surprises. A lot of emotion just thinking about it. A lot of emotion when remembering all this time and what I lived in Japan & rdquor ;.
Signed in 2018 by the vissell kobe, Iniesta has played 133 games in the Japanese team, in which he has signed 26 goals and distributed 26 assists. Some figures that are far from the 674 games, 57 goals and 137 goal passes that he distributed wearing the jersey of the barca in nearly two decades.
