Before moving to Japan in 2018, Iniesta spent his entire professional career at the Camp Nou where he established himself as a club legend and formed a deadly midfield with Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquets.
However, the World Cup winner insists there is no truth to supporting his arch rivals.
"Things have been said that are not true, like that I signed pre-contracts with Real Madrid. Let him get over it," he told AS.
When pressed he supported Real, he replied," No, definitely not."
Los Blancos did send a classy message to the former Blaugrana midfielder this week.
"Following Andrés Iniesta's announcement that he is retiring from professional football, Real Madrid C. F., its President and its Board of Directors would like to express their recognition, admiration and affection for one of the biggest legends of Spanish and world football."
Real Madrid also commented on the accolades Andres Iniesta achieved and helped with the expansion of the Spanish national team: "Andrés Iniesta has enriched the sport through his football and his values, in addition to the numerous trophies he has won during his career. His iconic goal in the 2010 World Cup Final in South Africa will forever remain in the memory of every Spanish fan."
