Andres Iniesta to make 500th Barcelona appearance against Atletico Madrid

Andres Iniesta will make his 500th Barcelona appearance in tonight's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Atletico Madrid at the Vicente Calderon.

The Spanish international, who made his debut for the Catalan outfit in 2002, is widely regarded as one of the best midfielders in the history of the game.

As it stands, only four players – Victor Valdes, Carlos Puyol, Xavi and former centre-back Miguel Bernardo have played more official games for Barcelona than Iniesta.

Barcelona and Atletico are currently level at 1-1 from the first leg of their quarter-final meeting.

Each of the four meetings between the two sides this season have ended in draws.
