When FC Barcelona meet Arsenal FC on Tuesday at 8.45pm CET, they’ll also be coming up against Gunners midfielder Mikel Arteta, who coincided with Andrés Iniesta at Barça’s famed La Masia youth academy. Arteta remembers his time at Barça as “the most important and beautiful of my career.”
“I saw that I was at the best training academy in the world and it left a mark on me as well as principles that are the foundation of my career,” he said.
FC Barcelona captain Andrés Iniesta also took part in the joint interview. “[Arteta] is a very good player who, in the youth ranks, was a team leader.”
