Video: Barcelona vs Real sociedad 1-0 All Goals and highlights ~ La liga 20-5-2018

Philippe Coutinho scored a stunning goal as Barcelona marked Andres Iniesta's final game for the club with victory over Real Sociedad.

Andres Iniesta's illustrious Barcelona career came to an end with a 1-0 win over Real Sociedad at a Camp Nou in celebratory mood.

The 34-year-old had announced in April that he would leave the Catalan giants at the end of the season – just two days before Ernesto Valverde's side beat Deportivo La Coruna to confirm a 25th LaLiga title.


Played out against that backdrop it was hardly surprising that at times it felt more like a testimonial match rather than the final league game of the season.


Iniesta demonstrated his abundant repertoire in a dominant first-half display, finding his team-mates with an array of precise and inventive passing, something he has done with distinction since his debut in the 2002-03 season.


While the World Cup winner was not involved in the game's solitary goal, he will have looked on admiringly as Philippe Coutinho whipped in a fine finish from outside the area after 57 minutes.


The curtain eventually came down on Iniesta’s time with Barca in the 81st minute, the midfielder leaving the field to a rapturous reception and handing over the captain’s armband to Lionel Messi in a symbolic gesture.
