KOBE (Reuters) - Spanish great Andres Iniesta will have the strange sensation of playing against his boyhood club Barcelona, where he spent 16 trophy-filled years, in the colours of Japan's Vissel Kobe when the two sides meet on Saturday.

Iniesta, who won 31 trophies at the Nou Camp, joined Kobe last year after leaving the Catalan side and will now face the likes of former midfield companions Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic for the first time.
