Why Kyogo chose the No.8 jersey when he arrived at Celtic
Iniesta will leave a significant mark on the game having spent 22 illustrious years with Barcelona. The midfielder, along with Xavi and Busquets, were the heartbeat of successful midfields that allowed Messi to flourish in attack.
Kyogo actually selected the No.8 jersey when he arrived at Celtic in a tribute to the World Cup winner. It was certainly a drastic change from the decade of the shirt being worn by battling captain Scott Brown.
