“I’m happy to have reached 100 goals in such a beautiful competition,” he added.

After the match, rumours were strife about Iniesta’s departure in the summer, as the great Catalan has been looking to move on from his boyhood club.
This is what Iniesta had to say after the match,
“Before April 30 I have to make the decision whether I’m still in Barcelona or I’m going to China. I have to assess what is best for me and for the club,” he said.
“It is a decision that I will communicate to the club first and then you will find out. I will make a decision before April 30.
“It will be the most honest for me and for the club.”
This is what Ernesto Valverde had to say when he heard about his great midfielder’s decision,
“It’s a very personal decision, he has to decide.
“I’m not thinking of a Barcelona without Andres Iniesta because right now we have a Barcelona with Andres Iniesta.”
