When Barcelona took the pitch for their Club World Cup semifinal against Guangzhou Evergrande, captain Andres Iniesta’s appearance revealed that he had been the victim of a horrible crime.

Now, Iniesta has had difficulty in the hair department for some time, but this new shaved sides/wispy top strip look is deeply upsetting.

Whatever happened to Andres happened in Japan. At training on Wednesday, he had his usual middle aged accountant ‘do safely in tact.

But like a quiet town ravaged by a tornado, that changed in a flash. And all that was left was devastation. I don’t know what’s happened here, but I blame Pique.

Pray for Andres.
