Barcelona icon Iniesta completes move to Japanese side Vissel Kobe

Andres Iniesta has been officially unveiled as a Vissel Kobe player, with the J-League outfit having snapped up the Barcelona legend in the wake of his departure from Camp Nou.

Having graduated out of the famed La Masia academy system in Catalunya, the 33-year-old matured into one of the most decorated players of the modern era.

He helped Barca to nine La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns during his time at Camp Nou, while also landing World Cup and European Championship honours with Spain.

Iniesta has, however, decided to open himself up to a new challenge and will be continuing his distinguished career in Asia.
