All the records and milestones aside, the El Clasico would be more significant for the departing Andres Iniesta than any player on the field on Sunday.

The Barcelona skipper would be stepping down in the summer, coasting off to China for a new footballing sojourn.

The 34-year old is a Clasico veteran, having participated in 37 of them in his career, winning an unprecedented 16.

He's also scored thrice - two of them at the Bernabeu - and on each occasion, Barcelona have gone on to win. Not to mention another eight assists all along.

In the 15 years that he's been a part of this rivalry, Iniesta has actually witnessed it all. Joy, gloom, pride, humiliation; he's been through the thick and thin, and it's difficult to fathom a Clasico without one of its greatest participants.

Ad

In what's set to his final appearance in this storied fixture, Iniesta would definitely aim to bow out on a high.

He's been a thorn in the face of their great rivals over the years, and one last straw before he departs would be a fitting farewell.
