Andres Iniesta has asked for dialogue between Catalan and Spanish leaders in the uncertain aftermath of Sunday’s referendum on Catalan independence.
He wrote on his Facebook page: “I never have and I never will publicly address such complicated situations and diverse feelings, but the situation we are currently experiencing is an exceptional one.
“And before we do more damage to ourselves: Dialogue. Those responsible must talk. Do it for all of us. We deserve to live in peace.”
Iniesta’s post came hours after teammate Gerard Pique was booed by supporters as the Spain team arrived in Alicante for Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Albania.
Pique voted in the referendum and was in tears when he spoke to reporters about the political situation after the game against Las Palmas.m
