  • Barcelona legend: Andres Iniesta.

    Andres Iniesta’s debut for Vissel Kobe in the J-League ended in a 3-0 home defeat to Shonan Bellmare on Sunday.

    The Barcelona legend entered the pitch off the substitutes bench to a huge roar from the crowd on 58 minutes but his new side were already trailing by two goals and he couldn’t inspire a fightback.

    Iniesta, who won 32 major trophies and turned out 674 times for Blaugrana in a glittering career, showed off some silky touches on the ball in his first outing since signing a record $30 million three-year contract.
