A. Iniesta spent his entire career at "Barcelona" club until moving to Japan.
There are still interviews with the footballer on the internet with the "LaSexta" television, to which he said: "I root for Madrid with all my strength."
Asked if he really was a fan of Madrid's "Real" team in childhood, A. Iniesta did not hesitate and explained the whole situation: "When I was little, I cared about "Albacete" and "Barça".
One day "Barça" defeated us with a score of 7:1 and I was really very angry. I decided to transfer my anger to the point that I started to root for Madrid a little bit."

It would be awesome if Real Madrid gave Iniesta a special tribute before his last El Clásico. A pasillo just to him pic.twitter.com/7OHP9UKbkJ
