Kasabian invited for "mad night" out

Andres Iniesta has invited Kasabian to Barcelona to watch a match and spend a night out in the city, calling the band the 'greatest in the world'.

The Spanish football star revealed that the group's music helps the players get "pumped" before every game. Spain beat the Netherlands 1-0 in the World Cup final on Sunday.

Iniesta told The Sun: "I am thanking everybody who helped us win the World Cup. Kasabian were a big inspiration in the dressing room. Their 'Club Foot' has been our choice of song before we run out for about a year now. I want to say a big thank you to them, I want to offer them something.

"I want to invite them as my guests to come and watch the world’s greatest football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. I will even sort it for them to come and have a kickaround on the pitch the day before.

"We can go out and have a mad night in Barcelona and celebrate the World Cup win properly. They haven’t got to worry about hotels, I am in the mood for sharing.

"They can come and stay at my house so I can show them my World Cup medal and we can have a couple of beers round my pool. Greatest band in the world, on behalf of Spain, I want to say thank you. Not just thank you, we love you!"

Frontman Serge Pizzorno has already promised to perform at the team’s victory party.
