The Barcelona midfielder believes that their humiliating defeat by the hands of the Bavarians will act as a wakeup call for the Catalans, and will help them improve.
Last night, the once unconquerable F.C Barcelona, became the first team in the history of the prestigious European tournament to get knocked out with a 7-0 aggregate defeat.
The last four of the UEFA Champions League this year had two teams from the German land and two teams from the Spanish side of Europe.
While Real Madrid seemingly played the easier set of fixtures against former German champions Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona had to deal with the threat of the exponentially growing power of German super power Bayern Munich.
The first legs of the two ties were played in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 show.
The return legs of the tie were scheduled for this week and while Dortmund just did enough to go past Real Madrid, Barcelona were dealt with another blow as the Bavarians came and conquered the Nou Camp.
The aggregate scores read 7-0 at the end of the game and no fans with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 support inside their hearts remember such a beating of their beloved club in the recent past.
Andres Iniesta was also shocked at the result but stated that the defeat will give them great motivation to improve in the future and Barcelona will learn from the lesson.
"This defeat needs to teach us how to learn from our mistakes. We've seen that there have been some [mistakes] during these two matches," Iniesta told the official UEFA website. "But defeats, if you use them well, are how to improve for the future. Next
year we'll be back trying to win this tournament again. We gave our all to beat Bayern but for a number of reasons - their physical power, their positional play and other things - they deserved to beat us. In the away leg and in this match they were better
than us.”
The Wembley final features two German clubs for the first time in the history of the competition and is set to be played on 25th May, 2013.
