Iniesta: It would be fantastic to play against Barcelona in Japan Friendly Would be an unprecedented opportunity

With Barcelona touring Japan next summer as part of their preseason schedule, former player, Andres Iniesta, has suggested that it would be a fantastic opportunity if his current side, Vissel Kobe, could secure a friendly against the Blaugrana.

Given that both sides are sponsored by the same company, it's possible that such a match could take place.

"It would be fantastic if it could be fulfilled," Iniesta said to reporters at a press conference.

"I think it would be an unprecedented opportunity for both me and the Japanese supporters."

On Tuesday, the Catalans confirmed a tour of China and Japan, although for the moment haven't specified which teams they will face.

The legendary midfielder also wants to finish the current season, which has five match days left, with a flourish, having scored two goals in nine games since his arrival.

"I hope to be able to contribute more to the team," he continued.

"I'm adapting little by little to life in Japan, as well as to my colleagues and the Japanese league.

"Kobe is a wonderful city."
