Barcelona wants to make Champions League history - Andres Iniesta

In an exclusive interview with Sport English, Barcelona skipper talks about his time at Barca, his feelings regarding captaincy, and Barca hopes in making Champions League history. Read an excerpt from the interview after the cut 

When you look back on your time with FC Barcelona what goes through your head? 

A lot of things, above all the positive times. In such a long time with the club I have lived through so many experiences. Time passes and you continue where you want to be and you still have the motivation to continue doing things well. The collective aims [at the club] still remain and I am really happy to be starting another season with the same enthusiasm. 

What does the captaincy mean to you?

It's a nice responsibility. It's special to wear the armband for your club. You represent a lot of things to the club, to yourself and to your teammates, too. I'm happy to have the respect of the fans and the dressing room.  

Is the weight of so much success last season now a handicap? An added pressure? 

That's not something that affects our chances, but it will be difficult [to repeat the treble]. It's a challenge, though, and there are still things we want to achieve. It's clear that when you are the champion, everyone is more eager to beat you and it is more complicated, yes, but the challenge is to improve and overcome that. It will be another demanding seasons, but we will fight for everything. 

Is the Spanish Super Cup loss and the tough start to the season a concern? 

We would have like to win the Super Cup. We didn't do well well and in a final you pay for that, but the first two games in the league have been really good. Maybe they have not been spectacular in the sense of attacking and creating chances, but the level of play has been good. We feel stronger. We are happy. Now comes a tough game in the Calderon, the Champions League... like every season, let's go game by game. 

Players who've won it all, like you, must be desperate to win consecutive Champions Leagues? 

Of course, it's a nice challenge, but it will be complicated. It's in our head, though. It's not been done by any club. We couldn't do it in 2010 or 2012, but we go again. We have the team and the players to fight for everything.
