The legend of Barcelona and Spanish football shared a very endearing moment in the 'Scoring Girls' project by FedEx.
He knows perfectly well what it's like to win the Champions League and to do so with decisive goals.
Surrounded by green, balls, the Champions trophy in the background and for a good cause, Andrés Iniesta spoke to OneFootball and left us with several headlines.
With the 'Scoring Girls' initiative by FedEx, the visibility of young girls in the world of football is sought and Iniesta couldn't be more delighted with the initiative: "I am very happy to be part of it and to enjoy football with them, football continues to be a great connector no matter where you are from and I am delighted that they can contribute their bit".
Three of these young football promises will also have the fortune to play an important part in the next Champions League final in Munich. Regarding this, Iniesta is clear: "It's about enjoying the moment, it's something exceptional what they are going to experience in the final and they will always remember. A final of this kind does not happen every day and it will be very beautiful for them".
Iniesta concluded his career as a player a few months ago, but he doesn't want to waste time and is already training as a coach, and he's not doing badly: "I started a few months ago, I have the first step done and now it's my turn to learn, listen, watch and train in it. I don't have a very concrete goal but with the focus of moving forward".
Being able to receive advice from someone like Andrés Iniesta, whether you are an older player or a child, is something that can be worth its weight in gold: "It's something we've been doing in our academy and when it comes to boys and girls, it's always nice to try to convey to them what you've experienced and how you understand football".
With the Champions League in the background, it was obligatory to ask him about the new format that has caused some controversy: "It's a format that has brought different situations, many goals and from there it enters the usual phase. It has an attractive component that makes you enjoy".
But the current events, obviously do not escape Iniesta's focus and as a Barça legend, he closely follows the great season that Flick's team has been having.
It's inevitable to talk about the work of a Hansi Flick who, in his first year at Barça, has achieved a national treble and what he's doing is incredible, even for a legend like Andrés: "Very good and positive things are being transmitted, the work is sensational and hopefully titles can be won and that is the goal that a club like Barça sets itself".
