Andrés Iniesta- Retired
Football icon Andrés Iniesta will retire 8th October.
The now 40 year old Spanish midfielder has had an interesting end to his career since leaving Barcelona 6 years ago.
Majority of those years was spent in Japan playing for Vissel Kobe where he helped them to a League title and a few other trophies.
His final season has been in the UAE for top division side Emirates.
Best known of course for his 16 year spell at Spanish giants Barcelona where he was a key part in what many consider the greatest club side of certainly the modern era, potentially all time.
He formed the iconic and highly successful midfield trio of Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta which would prove very successful internationally as well with a World Cup in 2010 (Iniesta scored the winner) and 2 European Championships in 2008 and 2012.
He is one of the most successful Club players ever with 37 trophies to his name.
So will he go down as a generational or all time great?
Does he rank above players like De Bruyne now?
Or Zidane?
Platini?
Was still pretty decent at 40 tbf
