“Sending a big embrace and my deepest condolences to the family of Johan on behalf of all the team,” Barca captain Iniesta said, Mundo Deportivo reports.
“It’s a big loss, a very said day for the family of Barca and the world of football, for all the people who know the influence he has had on the sport.
“I had the opportunity to speak with him several times. I remain in his influence. He’s the key person to our current and future success.”
