Xavi Hernandez has described Andres Iniesta as the “greatest talent” Spain has ever seen after his good friend and former midfield partner hung up his boots on Tuesday.
Iniesta announced his decision at a special event which was attended by Xavi and a host of other Barcelona stars past and present.
Xavi then took to social media afterwards to pay a touching tribute to Iniesta.
“The greatest talent that Spanish football has given! Thank you for everything you have given to football, friend. A privilege to have enjoyed by your side for so long.
