Andrés Iniesta appeared in the midday of this Friday to announce that it would leave to be player of the FC Barcelona at the end of the present season. During the press conference explained the reasons of his goodbye and also appreciated to the club, to his family, to the fans and to his mates the support that have offered him during all this time.

"There is not another like Leo Messi"

One of the names that was present during the appearance was the one of Leo Messi. The Argentinian, of the same way that Luis Suárez, could not be present in the farewell of the Barcelona captain by personal reasons, something that does not blur the big relation that both have in the terrain of game and out of him.

Iniesta, during the press conference, wanted to launch a message to the '10' of the Barça when a journalist asked after him he: "it Has been a big honour share magic moments because I understand that there is not another like him. Always I have said that Read is a fundamental part and for me, like mate, has been only and magic play beside him".

The Balloon of Gold that won Leo Messi

A subject that has been latent in the last days has been the fact that Leo Messi won the Balloon of Gold the year in which Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernández won the World-wide with Spain. Something that desató some controversy in his moment, and by what the magazine France Football, that commissions to deliver the prize, excused.

"It is not any spine for me have not won the Balloon of Gold"

To Iniesta asked him on this in the press conference, but answered with humility, valuing the fact to be beside Xavi and to Leo Messi between the three first positions: "I do not have at all that say in this regard. It is not any spine for me the Balloon of Gold. Be here present and, especially, being with Xavi and Leo, went something magic".

Besides, the midfield player manchego valued the affection that has awarded him the barcelonismo by in front of having won the Balloon of Gold: "My perception of the football and of my happiness does not vary for having a Balloon of Gold. I remain me with the respect and the affection that have of my mates and the nearest people. To all like us these prizes, but do not change my opinion and do not think that necessary to accept apologies".
