Barcelona Discusses current state of Catalan club and his new book

Alongside journalists Marcos Lopez and Ramon Besa, Andres Iniesta was at his book's debut signing, emphasising how the club must join together in unity to overcome such a key injury like Lionel Messi's.

The autobiographical book "The Artist:Being Iniesta" was cowritten with the journalists' input and suggestions, meaning it is the midfielder's voice that is tramitted on each page.

The original title in Spanish, which translates to 'the play of my life', leaves everyone happy, as it isn't clear whether Iniesta is referring to his goal against Chelsea with Barcelona or the winner in the 2010 World Cup final with Spain.

"The team is stronger with Messi than without him, but it is the squad as a whole that wins titles," Iniesta said at the event. "We all wish he could play these next few games, but unforeseen circumstances do happen."

As for the title of his book, the Blaugrana No.8 clarified that he was referring to his life goals, not ones on the pitch.

"I'm not talking about Johannesburg or Stamford Bridge, but about my life, my trajectory, and to all of those that have helped me become a better player and person."

Throughout the book, Iniesta tried to write just like he plays, with a calm, composed delicate voice, though he believes the writing process is far less daunting than winning the Champions League.

"When writing a book, you can change things after the fact if you don't like them. I've enjoyed and learned a lot from the process.

"For a long time, I've wanted to do something like this and share what my life is like, its most important moments, and how I have come to interpret sport and life."
