Iniesta set for game 600 in a Barcelona shirt this weekend
The midfielder has made 599 appearances for the club and should reach the milestone at Balaidos
Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta will play his 600th official game for the club against Celta Vigo this weekend. It comes in his 15th season with the first team. He made his debut on Oct. 29, 2002, 13 years, 11 months and one day ago. Or said in another way: 5,085 days have been spent in the first team by Iniesta.
Throughout this time, he’s played 599 games. He’s one away from 600, which should come in Vigo on Sunday if Luis Enrique selects him, as it seems he will. The midfielder from Fuentealbilla stands out for the number of wins he featured in (406, 67.7 per cent) and the number of titles he’s won (29).
Louis van Gaal gave him him his debut in the Champions League, in a group stage game against Club Brugge. Barça had already qualified and the Dutchman gave various young players a chance: Dani Tortolero, Andres Iniesta, Sergio Garcia and David Sanchez all made their debuts.
