Andres Iniesta bid farewell to his beloved Barcelona on Sunday, as the league champions registered a hard-fought 1-0 win over Real Sociedad. The Spaniard was subbed off eight minutes from full time, giving the captain's armband to Lionel Messi and sobbed as he walked off the pitch for the final time.
If a shirt from @andresiniesta8 is already a great present, when he gives it to you in his last game as a blaugrana it is a dream pic.twitter.com/YG1QnejFEU— FC Barcelona 🏆🏆 (@FCBarcelona) May 21, 2018
His name was chanted countless times throughout the match and despite giving a proper farewell speech after the final whistle, he still wanted a bit of alone time with the place he used to call home.📝🎉 Celebrating the double and saying goodbye to @andresiniesta8 #Infinit8Iniesta https://t.co/LJzYPqyXsZ— FC Barcelona 🏆🏆 (@FCBarcelona) May 21, 2018
Watching a 15-year-old Andrés Iniesta in action, Pep Guardiola turned to Xavi and said: "You will retire me, but this kid will retire us both."— FourFourTweet (@FourFourTweet) May 21, 2018
He was right - he's retired them all and will never be replaced.

It's one AM in Barcelona. The crowd has stopped chanting, people have left, the stadium is empty and Iniesta still hasn't left the pitch. Just sitting there, barefooted, all alone, admist the silence, enjoying his last few moments wearing the Barça shirt.💔— Parth (@PresidentPique) May 21, 2018
