Barcelona icon relives Stamford Bridge heroics ahead of Chelsea clash - 'Impossible not to remember it. ' | Barca Universal

"It seems like yesterday, 16 years ago, but the memories are real. It's impossible not to remember it."

"Every time you see or think about the goal, you get emotional because of the goal and everything that happened after it. It was crazy."

"It was hugely important, and I don't limit that to just that moment because a lot had to happen."

"I remember we talked before and I told him [Bojan] I was going to score and he was going to have to give me the two tickets or whatever it was, I don't remember the number."

Andres Iniesta's 92nd-minute goal at Stamford Bridge in the 2009 Champions League semi-final tied the score and allowed Barcelona to progress to the final on the away-goal rule. The memory remains vivid and deeply emotional even 16 years later. The strike carried personal and club-wide significance, preceding a Champions League victory and a historic treble. Those weeks represented a period of dominance and intense feeling. A light-hearted anecdote involves promising former teammate Bojan Krkic tickets if the goal occurred, underscoring both the personal joy and camaraderie surrounding the milestone.
