As speaking to France Bleu radio, Matuidi said, “At 2-0, we saw the faces of the Barcelona players and they seemed very angry with themselves,”

“However, I do remember one moment when I said something to Iniesta. When Marco was on the ground, I said to Iniesta: ‘that is your successor.”

“He agreed and replied: ‘yes, that is what I think [too].”

“That is my opinion. Iniesta is an extraordinary player. He is ageing but he is still capable of great things. He was only just back from injury in the first leg and I know he will be in better shape for the return leg.”

“We are lucky to have [Iniesta’s] heir in Marco. That is the message I passed on to him.”
