In other words, it is interpreted that Iniesta expressed his desire to face Barcelona in his last match. <Sponici> believes that Iniesta will play in this game, changing the uniform of Vissel Kobe and Barcelona through the first and second half.
However, it cannot be ruled out that it will be a farewell match against the Japanese stage, not an active retirement. Considering the situation in which he urgently leaves in the summer, rather than leaving after completing the contract period, he can leave for a league that is having an autumn festival season, such as the Middle East. In any case, <Sponichi> reported that the breakup with Iniesta was approaching, saying, “It is certain that the game on June 6 will send a certain message to Japanese fans.”
