The Croatian doesn't have the words to describe the feelings

Barça midfielder Iván Rakitic spoke to the club's television channel after the 1-0 win against Real Sociedad which ended the season.  

The game was Andres Iniesta's last for the Catalan club and Rakitic was visibly emotional at the loss of his teammate. 

"The news about Iniesta's exit has affected us a lot. I don't have the words to describe the feeling right now," the Croatia midfielder said. 

He added: "For me, it's been a genuine pleasure to play with him. We've connected on and off the pitch. I have so much affection for him, his wife and his children."
