It is the end of an era at Barcelona, with Andres Iniesta's departure from the club made official by his signing for Vissel Kobe.
The Spain international has enjoyed an illustrious career and won everything possible with the Catalan club, having joined as a 12-year-old.
With his unique blend of effortless ability on the ball and an almost unrivalled eye for a pass, Iniesta has established himself as one of the greatest players in Europe over the last 15 years.
Having made his debut with the first team in the 2002-03 season, Iniesta has written himself into Barca folklore and will go down among their finest players ever.
Regardless of what he achieves in Japan, Iniesta will be remembered for his remarkable career at Barcelona and, with the help of Opta data, we look back on some of the most impressive stats of his time with the Blaugrana.
