Andres Iniesta grateful for putting pants on his nude statue

Barcelona and Spain legend Andres Iniesta poked fun at the nude statue of himself and tweeted his thanks for putting shorts on to cover him up.

The Barcelona hero, now with Vissel Kobe in Japan, wrote, "Thanks for putting pants [trousers] on," followed by laughing and winking emojis.

The Iniesta statue, which will stand proudly in the midfielder's home town of Albacete, had created to commemorate ten years since he scored the winning goal for Spain against the Netherlands at the World Cup final
