Ernesto Valverde claims ‘there will never be another’ Andres Iniesta as the departing Barcelona icon ‘let us live football in every dimension’.
La Liga champions Barca claimed a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad and it was a fitting finale for the 34-year-old, who lifted the trophy for a ninth time.
“The treatment he received after I brought him on was very moving,” said coach Valverde.
“He’s a player with a special type of magic. He makes easy what we all find difficult, and this is the essence of his football. He’s let us live football in every dimension.
“Fans chanting his name non-stop? I can say I was the coach and was there. Moments like these are unrepeatable and historical.
“I feel privileged to have coached Iniesta like all the others before me. We’re talking about a unique, one-of-a-kind player.
“There will never be another player like him, and I had the good luck to coach him.”
