KOBE: Spanish great Andres Iniesta will have the strange sensation of playing against his boyhood club Barcelona, where he spent 16 trophy-filled years, in the colours of Japan's Vissel Kobe when the two sides meet on Saturday.
"I think as a club and a team, it is a privilege to be able to play against Barca. It is a really special game which all of us will try to enjoy," Iniesta said on Friday. "We will prepare as best we can so that people have a good time and see a great game and that it is a special day for our fans, for the Barca fans who are here and for all of Japan."Busquets, who played alongside Iniesta for club and country for more than a decade, was full of praise for the 35-year-old but warned that their friendship may go out of the window come game time.
