Vissel Kobe midfielder, Andres Iniesta, has insisted he has “no regrets” over his departure from Barcelona, after facing his former team in a friendly.
Iniesta has been at the J.League side since 2018, after leaving his boyhood club Barca after a trophy-laden 16 seasons.
The 35-year-old played one half, as Vissel Kobe suffered a 2-0 loss to Barca in a pre-season game on Saturday.
Iniesta said he had no complaints about his departure from Barca, whose win marked their first of pre-season.
“No, no regrets. It’s a very strong word to label it as that.
“I’ve always said it. If I had felt the desire or the strength to continue playing in Barcelona I would’ve loved to come here a year later playing for Barca against Vissel, but my moment ended.
“Now, I’m in another place enjoying it in another way. I enjoyed the game, seeing my team-mates, it makes me very happy and I have a nice memory of it,” he told reporters.
