Last night was a magnficent night — the finals of the Champions League, played in Rome on the Olympico stadium. The show before the game was spectacular, but the game was even more so. In an amazing display, Barcelona, with Andres Iniesta as part of the starting squad (he successfully recovered from the injury), beat Manchester United 2-0.
Andres Iniesta played a great match, and together with Xavi Hernandez, controlled the midfield. The first goal was scored by Eto’o, and guess who passed the ball to him? It was Iniesta, of course. The “midfielder king”, as they call him, played great through the whole game, showed us some great moves. Pep Guardiola substituted him just before the end of the game in order to prevent any potential injuries.
All in all, Barcelona won the treble this year (La Liga, Copa del Rey and Champions League), and Andres Iniesta is a part of that success. Barca is more than a club, definitely.

Fans of FC Barcelona have been in fear after Andres Iniesta got substituted in the game against Villareal on Sunday. It seemed that he got injured, and some newspapers said that he will not be able to recover in time for the final in Rome.
However, Iniesta underwent an exam this morning at the clinic. The MRI showed that he has a 2cm tear in his muscle, BUT he WILL BE ABLE to play in the finals of the Champions League against Manchester United. This was confirmed by the doctors, and Andres himself said: “I will play in Rome, no matter what.”
That’s the spirit, Andres!

Wednesday night was the happiest night in Andres’ life. He scored in the 93rd minute a 1-1 equalizer against Chelsea and thus took Barcelona to the finals. The result in the first game was 0-0, so the 1-1 was perfect for Barcelona.
The goal was beautiful. After a pass from Lionel Messi, Andres took a great shot and scored an amazing goal in the right upper corner of the goal.
“This goal was scored by the whole team,” said Andres in an interview. “I was extremely happy that I could help my team to go to the finals in Rome. We’ll try our best to win there too.”

British media have reported that Manchester City FC, in order to improve their reputation around the world, will try to sign Andres Iniesta from FC Barcelona. Although both Barcelona officials and Iniesta have said numerous times that he will not leave Barca and that he would like to retire there, Manchester City representatives think that a bid of 40 million euro would change their minds.
They think that Iniesta would perfectly fit into their midfielder, and along with Robinho, and a couple of other signings they plan on doing over the summer, they think they will have a great squad for next season.
We’ll see what happens.

Chelsea is doing great this season. Ever since Guus Hiddink took over as coach, they’ve been playing great. However, British media claim that the coach is not satisfied with the services provided by Ballack and Deco, and sees FC Barcelona’s Andres Iniesta as the perfect choice for his tactic plans.
Iniesta said that he feels great in Barcelona, where he earns around 5 million euro per year. However, Chelsea and its rich owner Roman Abramovich could offer Iniesta a bigger salary, and that could move him away from Camp Nou.
However, nothing will happen until this season ends. Although it’s very unlikely that Iniesta will leave Barcelona.
