Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde has praised Andres Iniesta following the midfielder's starring role in the 5-0 thrashing of Sevilla in the Copa del Rey final.
Iniesta pulled the strings on Saturday night as the Blaugrana tore the Andalusians apart, triumphing in the competition for the fourth consecutive season.
The 33-year-old is widely expected to depart Camp Nou at the end of the season, however, with a move to the Chinese Super League being mooted.
Valverde, who has won his first piece of silverware at the helm of the club, admitted that he withdrew Iniesta in the closing moments so as to maximise his moment in the spotlight.
"Let's see what happens. He has to make the decision. See it, enjoy it," Valverde is quoted by Mundo as saying.
"I wanted people to give him a tribute for his party. It is marking an era.
"It's a pleasure to see him play. He does easy things that are so difficult. I would have given an arm when I was a player to do what Andres does."
The Spain legend intends to reveal the decision over his future by the end of the month.
