Barcelona legend, Andres Iniesta, has said that
Ernesto Valverde’s side were the favourite
candidates that can win this year’s Champions
League.
Iniesta, who left Barca for Japanese side, Vissel
Kobe last summer, believes the Camp Nou club
have the aspiration to win the Europe topflight
league title this term.
The La Liga champions became the first club to
qualify for the Champions League round of 16
knockout stages following their 1-1 draw with
Inter Milan.
Barcelona will tackle French Ligue 1 side, Lyon
in the last 16 next month and are favourites to
go through to the quarter-finals.
“I always think they [Barcelona]
can win this season’s
Champions League trophy,”
Iniesta was quoted by Sport as
saying.
“They’re ambitious and with
aspirations to win everything.
After that, there are moments
when things can go better or
worse.
“This team deserves more
Champions Leagues than they
have won. I hope this season
they take the step forward
which has been lacking in
recent years.”
