This was Andres Iniesta's last Clasico and there were tributes to the Barcelona captain from FIFA, from his teammates, from the fans at the Camp Nou and... from Zinedine Zidane.
The Frenchman waited five minutes in the tunnel for the Spaniard in order to wish him well and give him a hug.
The cameras of Movistar + captured the moment, as Zidane greeted the man he had called "not just any player" in the pre-match press conference.
Zidane even said a few days previously that Iniesta deserved to have won at least one Ballon d'Or.

I am a Real Madrid fan since 2005 and I never liked Barca...but seeing Iniesta leaving Barca this season it makes me feel the same way I am gonna feel if someone important leave Real... so sad 😞 Good luck Legend! The best midfielder in the football history and a great man!

His remarkable goal against Chelsea made me to love and follow Barcelona and his incredible performance in South Africa World Cup 2010 made me support Spain even though it's not my country that winning solo goal in the World Cup Final against Netherlands was enough for Spain to be called World Champions. Where ever you go will always follow. All the best my LIVING LEGEND ANDRES INIESTA you are a marvel to watch. Very humble and down to earth man
