Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde praised Andres Iniesta after their 5-1 victory over Villarreal.

The veteran midfielder will depart the Camp Nou at the end of the season.

"Iniesta teaches you something in every match," Valverde explained in his post-match interview.

"There's nothing more to say.

"He's always on point, just like [Lionel] Messi is, and for the moment we're enjoying having him."

Jasper Cillessen was handed a rare start on Wednesday, with the Dutchman having usually been kept for cup matches, however the former Athletic Club coach believed a reward was necessary for his work.

"My idea is that we'll end the season with Marc [Andre ter Stegen]," Valverde admitted.

"I wanted Jasper to play a league match, because he's given us a lot this season. It was a gift for him, it shows the recognition he's earned, we believe he's a great goalkeeper."
