Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta believes wrapping up the La Liga title as soon as possible will be the perfect antidote to their Champions League humiliation at the hands of Bayern Munich in midweek.
The Germans’ ruthless 3-0 win at the Camp Nou on Wednesday saw them inflict Barca’s worst ever European defeat 7-0 on aggregate and Iniesta admitted that after so much success in recent years it was a bitter pill to swallow.
“Both legs have been hard games for the result and for the feelings,” he told Barca TV.
“Bayern are well-deserved finalists. They are a team that has found great form and this has been reflected on the pitch.
“We have the feeling that they have been better than us. The reality hurts. It hurts us to have not been at the level required for the situation. Everyone of us gave everything there and here and again we have been left out one step away from the final.”
However, Barca could wrap up their fourth title in five years should they manage to beat Real Betis on Sunday night and Real Madrid fail to win against Valladolid 24 hours earlier.
