Iniesta upbeat ahead El Clasico

Andres Iniesta is confident that Barcelona can continue their title challenge by beating Real Madrid on Sunday.

The Blaugrana currently sit four points behind their great rivals, who lead the standings, and a defeat at the Bernabeu could almost end Barca's chances of retaining their La Liga crown. However, a victory for Gerardo Martino's men would close the gap to just a single point and with second place Atletico Madrid also in the mix, it promises to be one of the most dramatic ends to a La Liga season for years. Iniesta admits he is looking forward to the game and is confident that his side can earn what could prove to be a decisive three points.


 "Now comes the most difficult game of the season but also the most beautiful one," he told SPORT. "The Madrid-Barca game is a war of football, but what has happened in the past has stayed there. We want to get a good feeling at the Bernabeu and we believe that we can win there." "It has not been a comfortable season. At all levels, there are changes to be made - it has been difficult."
