Andres Iniesta trembled: "I was waiting for the evening to come take the pill and sleep." He conquered everything, but the "match" with the depression marked him

Andres Iniesta is the name that links most of the history of FC Barcelona and the national team of Spain. Titles of champions, trophies of the league of champions, Cups and Super Cups of Spain, but behind the victory, the triumph and the joy, hid an unpleasant reality.

One of the best midfielders in the world has experienced horror after the blaugrana group's first triple success, when Pep Guardiola was on the Catalan technical bench. Andres Iniesta opened in front of La Sexta and revealed that he was suffering from depression in the summer of 2009:

"In a situation like that, you have nothing, you do not feel anything, you do not know what is going on around you. I was waiting in the evening to take a pill and rest. The world is linked to hope, desire, purpose, but when you suffer from depression, it is not you. When you are so vulnerable, it is difficult to control your life and the moments you are going through.".

Mourinho, main reason for the rivalry that led to the extreme between Barcelona and Real Madrid

Andrei Iniesta also said that he wanted to end his career in the Barcelona jersey, but he also explained the reason that had led him to leave the summer of 2018 and to sign with the 39, Japanese team Vissel Kobe.

"I was no longer at maximum and I could not give 100% of the team"were the words of the Spanish midfielder who also spoke about his rivalry with Real Madrid:Mourinho was the main reason for the deterioration of the relationship between Barcelona and Real Madrid. The limits were exceeded and the atmosphere of the national team was also broken. It had become an unbearable situation, there was always rivalry before, it had become hateful".

Iniesta has retired from the Spanish nation after the World Cup in Russia, the last tournament in which the Iberians were eliminated in the best of the host country:The departure of Lopetegui was not a positive thing for us. It could not be otherwise, it is obvious that what starts bad ends up worse. With Hierro, we spoke before the last match, I did not understand his decisions, which I respected, but I did not share them. The only thing that interested me was to go to the competition".

The 34-year-old midfielder has been dressed for 16 years in the Barcelona jersey, for which he has played 674 games in all competitions and scored 57 goals. In the national team, Andres Iniesta made 131 appearances during the period 2006-2018 and scored 13 goals. In the Blaugrana and Iberian team, Iniesta has won 33 trophies: 30 in Barcelona and three in Spain.
