Yesterday, Andrés Iniesta (40 years old) officially ended his professional career. A career rich in titles and class gestures. Obviously, the retirement of the former La Roja and Barça midfielder caused all of Spain to react. And even in Madrid, we paid tribute to this legend of Iberian football. Indeed, Real Madrid, great rival of the Blaugrana club, published a press release on its official website.
“Following the announcement by Andrés Iniesta of his retirement as a professional football player, Real Madrid CF, its president and its board of directors want to show their recognition, admiration and affection for one of the great legends of Spanish and world football. Andrés Iniesta contributed with his football and his values to promote this sport, beyond the numerous titles won during his career. His iconic goal in the World Cup final in South Africa in 2010 will forever be remembered by all Spanish fans. Real Madrid wishes him and his entire family good luck in this new stage of his life.” A very classy message from the Merengues, who bowed to the legend Iniesta.
