Andres Iniesta, who scored Spain's winning goal in the 2010 World Cup final, has announced his retirement from international football following the team's exit in Russia.

The 34-year-old came on as a substitute as Spain lost 4-3 on penalties to hosts Russia in the last 16 on Sunday.

It was Iniesta's 131st and final game in a glittering career for his country.

"It is a reality that is my last match with the national team," said the former Barcelona player.
