Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has paid tribute to veteran teammate Xavi.

Xavi is expected to announce his departure from Barca tomorrow.

Iniesta remarked: "I am out of compliments. I will not find anyone at the stature of what he represents as a person and a player.

"The figures, the years, the feelings, his way of doing things are beyond any words. He is a unique player, unrepeatable and has been fundamental at the club and with the national team. It is a true pleasure and privilege to have had my entire career at his side."
