Andres Iniesta has taken time out to write a lengthy message to fans after retiring from international football after Spain were knocked out of the World Cup.
Here’s what the former Barcelona legend has had to say about his time with the national team.
“14 years ago I put on for the first time our national team shirt. I was 15 years old. I will never forget that moment. It was the dream of my life to defend the colours of my country.
“It was something very special, not just a dream but a great responsibility.
