Nike Release Special Edition Iniesta Barca Shirt

Barcelona are paying tribute to Andres Iniesta by releasing a special edition jersey that turns his iconic number 8 into an infinity symbol. A fitting farewell to a legendary icon that changed Spanish football forever.

The Iniesta tribute continues the trend of custom Nike replica this season as the Swoosh keep dropping special edition takes on exclusive jerseys. It's set to be an emotional weekend for everyone connected to Barcelona as Iniesta will play his final game for the club at the Camp Nou on Sunday when Barca wrap up their season at home to Real Sociedad.

As for the special edition shirt, it's already available on Barcelona's club store, but don't expect Iniesta to wear the sideways 8 on Sunday. Although there is strong indications that Barca may unveil and wear next season's home design against Real Sociedad. Expect lots of tears and lots of Iniesta mosaics.

With the league title already won and the unbeaten streak coming to a dramatic end against Levante last weekend, Sunday's game is all about Iniesta. A man who has won La Liga 8 times, 6 Copa del Reys, 7 Spanish Super Cups, 4 Champions Leagues, 3 Club World Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 2 European Championships, and 1 World Cup.
