Andres Iniesta has admitted it will be strange to take on Barcelona when his Vissel Kobe side play his former team in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
The Barca legend left the Camp Nou for the J-League last summer but is looking forward to meeting his old team-mates again.
“It is curious that, one year after I came here, Barça are visiting my current city. Without a doubt, it will be a very special game for everyone.
“It will be strange to have Busi, Jordi Alba and Rakitic in opposition, it will be strange to play against the team of my life and it will be a day of many emotions for me.
