Barcelona and Spain legend Andrés Iniesta has helped deliver the Champions League trophy to Munich ahead of this weekend's hotly-anticipated final.
Iniesta, who won the tournament four times as a player with the Blaugrana, was on hand to deliver the famous old trophy to the German city on Thursday.
The veteran midfielder was working alongside FedEx and delighted fans at the UEFA Champions Festival in Olympiapark MĂŒnchen.
Together, they presented a spectacular Walk of Champions parade celebration to welcome the UEFA Champions League trophy to the host city, ahead of the worldâs most watched club football final.
The communities, including International Football Club of Bern, DFI Football Academy and UEFA Foundation for Childrenâs, SCORING GIRLS* completed the parade, taking part in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at the UEFA Champions Festival to walk alongside European football royalty.
âItâs been an incredible experience to be a part of the FedEx UEFA Champions League Trophy Delivery this season," Iniesta said.
"Iâve felt honoured to be able to deliver success in all the communities weâve visited, and to bring everybody together for a celebration of the Trophy delivery has been incredible.
"I will remember this experience for a long time and hope it can inspire the communities to deliver success in the future.â
With the help of the FedEx courier, the former FC Barcelona star navigated the lively walkways of Olympiapark, successfully delivering the UEFA Champions League to the Champions Pitch and placing it onto the trophy plinth in full view of an excited crowd, who erupted with cheers at the sight of Europeâs most treasured piece of football silverware.
Andrés Iniesta accompanied FedEx in collecting the UEFA Champions League trophy from UEFA headquarters in Switzerland last week and continues to support FedEx as the trophy moves through Munich, before arriving at the Munich Football Stadium on Saturday, in time for the UEFA Champions League Final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter.
