Andres Iniesta wants Champions League glory – Football news
The Spanish midfielder is disappointed with La Blaugrana’s performance in the Champions League semi-final, against Bayern Munich and wants to take revenge next season.
Despite winning the Spanish La Liga, Andres Iniesta is not fully satisfied with La Blaugrana’s overall performance during the season. The Spanish La Liga title is the only trophy the Catalans have to show for at the end of the season, despite taking a bright start to the 2012-2013 season.
The FIFA World Cup winner said, “There will be changes because that needs to happen every year for us to compete at the highest level. Next year we won’t get to the semi-finals of the Champions League without competition for places. We will try to take our revenge.”
The Spanish giants experienced a lot of changes, not only in their first-team squad but also in the dressing room, as their legendary coach, Pep Guardiola, left the club to join the German giants, Bayern Munich.
“My aim was basically to finish the season and to think I did better than the previous one,” he added.
Tito Vilanova took charge of things as Guardiola left behind an extremely brilliant set of players for him. With the likes of Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, La Blaugrana are mostly expected to come out as winners. However, this season they were unable to repeat their heroics as they faced the German giants, Bayern Munich, in the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League.
With Lionel Messi playing through an injury, and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 going through an extremely poor run of form, Munich simply destroyed them. The final score on aggregate was 7-0 and it was hard to believe for all the football lovers that a team like Barcelona lost by such a massive margin.
The Catalan midfielder, Andres Iniesta, recently said in a press conference that he is looking forward to take revenge next season as he expects La Blaugrana to come out with flying colours. The Spanish champions have already signed the Brazilian prodigy, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Neymar-c27639, in order to improve their attacking prowess. However, they still strength in defence.
No matter how poor their form may be, the Catalan giants are always favourites to come out as winners against any team on any pitch in the world.
