A club icon on his own, Andrés Iniesta has already stated that he won't return for one more season with Barcelona. Since not everyday you see a player leaving a club after rising through the team's categories for over two decades, there will be a last tribute paid to the man born in Fuentealbilla.
Earlier today, the team's Twitter feed unveiled what will be a commemorative jersey for Sunday's clash between them and Real Sociedad. The jersey simply shifted Iniesta's number 8 horizontally, which resembles an infinity sign, and which will remain as a symbol of Iniesta's legacy.

This will not be the first special jersey Barcelona wears during this season, since they had used a custom-made shirt where every player's name was changed to "Barcelona" in the wake of the terrorist attack suffered in the earlier months of the season.
As for Sunday's clash, this jersey will most likely be worn by the players prior to the start of the game.
