Teary eyed, voice cracking, overcome with emotion and in front of a number of former teammates, coaches and Barcelona higher-ups, Andrés Iniesta bid farewell to soccer, putting an end to the career of one of the greatest players in Barcelona and Spain's history.
"I never thought this day would come," Iniesta said fighting tears in his retirement press conference. "Really I never imagined it... but i know that these tears are from emotion and pride, not sadness. They're the tears from that kid from Fuentealbilla (Spain) that dreamed of becoming a soccer player... and we made it."
