The 40-year-old had announced his retirement from football after a career full of achievements inside and outside Barcelona.

Messi wrote in his farewell to Iniesta via his official Instagram account, attaching a picture of them together, “One of the most magical teammates and one of the ones I enjoyed playing with a lot.”

He continued, “Iniesta, football will miss you and we all will too. I wish you the best always, you are a phenomenon.”
