"This is my last season with Barcelona" - Iniesta

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta will leave the Spanish club at the end of the season.

The midfielder, 33, has made 669 appearances in 16 seasons, winning 31 trophies with Barca and three major tournaments for Spain.

"This is my last season here," he said on Friday. "I have thought my decision through for a long time. For me, Barca is the best club in the world - this club has given me everything.

"I would like to thank my team-mates and everyone who accompanied me every day, they made me be better. It's been a dream come true, lots of titles, important moments throughout my career. I am very happy to have played for this club. I am proud."

Regarding his future, Iniesta said: "There are still things to work out, different things. I said I would never play against Barca, so it's not going to be in Europe. We will know at the end of the season.

"I'm almost 34, I've left everything out on the field, I've given everything to the club, and if I couldn't give everything up to now, I wouldn't be happy. I want to be happy, like I have been here."
