Andres Iniesta's First Touch Is A Thing Of Beauty

Andres Iniesta has still got it. Don't you worry.

The Vissel Kobe midfielder (still sounds a bit weird) produced a filthy, filthy touch during a game in the J-League.

He brilliantly plucked the ball out of the air with his right foot, before caressing the ball with another delightful touch, eventually laying off his teammate.

Time to gawk - check this out:

Beautiful.

Anyway, he recorded his first win with his new team following last weeks miserable debut.

The midfielder entered the fray as a second-half substitute, and was introduced to a raucous crowd with fans waving Spain flags.

However, Iniesta's first game for Vissel Kobe ended in defeat as they lost 3-0 at home to Shonan Bellmare. Ouch.

While it's another game for the Japaneses outfit, it's going to take some time before people get used to seeing Iniesta in a Vissel Kobe shirt.

Iniesta wasn't the only player who made his J-League bow last weekend.

Fernando Torres also came off the bench to make his debut for Sagan Tosu. And just like his former international colleague, he suffered defeat losing 1-0 at home to Vegalta Sendai.

All the best in Japan, lads.
