A Copa del Rey encounter in January 2004 brought the first goal for a player who went on to become a club legend - and who's going to be sorely missed.

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta left Barcelona in 2018 after more than 20 years at the club.

The 37 year-old scored his first ever goal for Barca back in a Copa del Rey last 16 tie with Levante in 2004. Levante had won the first leg 1-0 and Andres Iniesta wiped out the lead in the third minute of the second leg with his first ever goal for the club. Javier Saviola made it 2-0 seconds after the interval and Ronaldinho's penalty gave Barca a 3-0 lead after 66 minutes. Edwin Congo pulled one back for Levante 10 minutes from time, but they were unable to get another goal to win. 

Take a look at Iniesta's goal from the fixture in the video above! Iniesta went on to score 57 times in 674 appearances for the Catalan giants.
