Barcelona has to travel to the Santiago Bernabeu on March 23 as they will face off against Real Madrid on a match that has the potential of deciding which team is going to win the Spanish League in this season.
Andres Iniesta has urged his teammates and insisted in saying that they must win the match against their rivals in order to keep the Spanish title hopes alive.
‘’The truth is that if we want to maximize our options of retaining the league title, we have to win at the Bernabeu. Madrid are leaders and have some of the best players, but form doesn’t always count in these games’’. Iniesta said.
During the last few ‘’El Clasico’’ matches between Real Madrid and Barcelona, it have been characterized by red cards, fighting and diving rather than actual football but Iniesta believes that this time around there is going to be less tension than previous years.
‘’They are always a difficult team to beat, but I don’t think that we’ll see the same tension of a few years back on the pitch. It’ll be a war, but a footballing war and we mustn’t step over that line’’. Iniesta added.
Andres Iniesta is going through a rather different season from the rest of his teammates as he recently had to cope with the misfortune of his wife, Anna suffering a miscarriage which even forced the Spanish of having to miss out from a few training sessions and matches for his club but Iniesta has thanked his fans from all the support they have given him in these tough times.
“When you’re having a hard time, feeling really down, you then realize all the affection that you get from people you don’t even know, and this gives you the strength to carry on. My wife, my family, we are all grateful for the affection we have received’’.
“Yes, I have received messages of support from the Real Madrid players; some things are more important than a football match.” Iniesta revealed.

Andres Iniesta is one of the stars of Barcelona and the Spanish midfielder insisted in praising Lionel Messi as he stated that the Argentinean superstar does not need to win the World Cup in order to be considered as the best player of all time.
Lionel Messi has always been a subject of discussion and most typically its usually when some start talking about his accolades as he has already won 4 Ballon d’Or awards which is more than anybody else but even though he has accomplished this feat as well as many other, some fans and coaches still insist in stating that in order for him to be regarded in the same caliber as Zinedine Zidane, Pele or Ronaldinho, the thing he needs is a World Cup trophy.
The performances that the Argentinean does with Barcelona are simply mind-blowing as he is consistently breaking records each season, each year. But his performances with his national team, Argentina are not on the same level as his club but despite this, Iniesta still considers Messi to be one of the best players in history.
“Leo doesn’t need to win the World Cup to be considered the best player ever. I say that for those who demand he wins the World Cup to be considered the greatest ever in history. He’s decisive in every game he’s played in for six or seven years.”
“Messi always responds. He never misses and in just a few minutes he can change a game. He’s a fundamental player,” the Spanish midfielder told the club’s official website.
Lionel Messi is expected to be the driving force behind Argentina in the upcoming 2014 World Cup as the star of Barcelona was given the captain armband and he has already stated his desire on winning the trophy for his 1st time.
