Andres Iniesta has spent his whole playing at Barcelona, enjoying a trophy-laden spell at the Camp Nou. But after 17 seasons, he's to move on.

The iconic Spaniard played his last final for Barcelona, last weekend.

And he bowed out in style, getting on the score-sheet, inspiring his side to a stunning 5-0 victory against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final.

Raising his 34th career title in the process. Incredible.

Today, Iniesta has officially announced he's leaving Barcelona in a emotional press conference.

"It's a very difficult day for me, to be here saying goodbye when I've spent my whole life here at Barcelona. A great deal of who I am, is down to Barça and La Masía - I am very thankful to them," he said.
