Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Barcelona legend, Andres Iniesta, has revealed his plans to return to Camp Nou in the future.<\/p>\n

Iniesta, who currently plays for Japanese side Vissel Kobe, said many things have changed at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Barcelona are going through a difficult period both domestically and in Europe.<\/p>\n

Ronald Koeman\u2019s side have lost their last two games against Atletico Madrid in the LaLiga and Benfica in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

But Iniesta, 37, believes they can get back on track.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will always see Barcelona in a good way because I still see a different team,\u201d Iniesta told BBC.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany things have changed since then. Naturally, the players are different, but there\u2019s still an idea, a concept.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it is something I hope to do [return to Barcelona],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like it to happen because, more than anything, it\u2019s the club I spent so many years at.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know what\u2019ll happen in the future, you don\u2019t know in what way I could return or who\u2019ll be the people in charge at a certain moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if you ask me if I would like to, the answer is yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iniesta spent 16 years at Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The Spaniard won nine LaLiga titles and four Champions League trophies, among others.<\/p>\n
