Heartfelt moment when Iniesta passed armband to Messi in his last Clasico: what did he tell Leo?

One of the most emotional moments in Andres Iniesta's Barca stint was his last El Clasico on May 6, 2018.

The midfielder was subbed off in the 57th minute and handed the armband to Lionel Messi as he was leaving the pitch. Cameras caught Andres giving Messi a big hug and whispering something in his ear.

According to ESPN, the analysis of the footage allowed them to divulge Iniesta's words. He reportedly said: "Here Leo, I love you so much."

After the game, Real Madrid's boss, Zinedine Zidane, said on Iniesta: "It is difficult because if you like football, seeing a player like him leave is tough. I don't think of him as a Barcelona player. 

"I've come across him two or three times and he is a charming, very reserved man and I like players who can do everything on the field but are that calm off it. I only have good words for him, admiration for his football and I wish him the best as a player for the future but above all, as a person."
