Barcelona Wants to remain at the club for life

Andres Iniesta wants to stay on at Barcelona after retirement from the game, and only sees himself ever representing the Catalan club on the pitch as well.

Speaking at the opening of an artificial football pitch at his former school in Fuentealbilla, the midfielder expressed his desire to continue his association with the club.

"I have always said I would like to retire at Barcelona," he said.

"It is the club I have been at since I was 12.

"I still have years left to play at the highest level so it is too early to decide my future, but Barcelona is where I want to be and hope to be for a long time."
