FC Tokyo hire Andres Iniesta impersonator for game against Vissel Kobe

When the story first broke, we thought it was a bit of a joke. FC Tokyo weren't really going to hire an Andres Iniesta impersonator because the new Vissel Kobe No. 8 was going to miss the trip to the Ajinomoto Stadium on Sunday, were they?

Well, they did. They hired Iam Noda and this was the result.
