Barcelona‘s celebrated pair of Andres Iniesta and Lionel Messi will be on the pitch together for one final time on Sunday, as the hosts end their La Liga campaign against Real Sociedad.

Club legend Iniesta will be playing in what will be his last match for his boyhood club at the Camp Nou.

Sunday’s La Liga clash will also be the final game of the season for Barca, while Real Sociedad too don’t have much to play for – other than pride and some positivism to take into the next season.

The attention will be solely on one man: Iniesta.

The Iniesta-Messi pairing has combined majestically down the years, with both stars rising up through the La Masia academy set-up and going on to win a 64 trophies between them.

On Sunday, if Ernesto Valverde names both in the starting line-up, the home crowd will be able to witness two legends showing their class in one final chapter, the last hurrah.

No matter what though, it promises to be an emotional night for everyone inside the stadium and rightfully so, as the stage is set for the end of an era.
