Barca captain Andres Iniesta fit for Clasico

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta is set to make his return from injury in Saturday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid.

“Real Sociedad were infinitely better than us with and without the ball”.

“As nearly always happens here, Real got the better of us and if someone was watching the game without seeing the colour of the shirts, they would think the other team was Barca”, added Enrique.

Real Madrid Forward Gareth Bale sustained damage to his peroneal tendons in the game against Sporting Lisbon and could be out for a period of up to 3 months.

Real Sociedad. The Spanish team was outrun that leaves them six points adrift of La Liga leaders Real Madrid.

Pablo Piatti scored twice as Espanyol upped the pace to claim their first home win of the season with a 3-0 victory over Leganes, with Gerard Moreno also scoring in a game that came to life in the second half.

“But on Saturday we have a very important game”.

“I think Iniesta is so key for them because he is the one player who will make himself available at every opportunity in risky situations to get the ball from the back two”.

“Evidently we need to improve, but there is no reason for excessive concern other than isolated incidents. If we win the match, it’ll be a real statement of intent”.

It was no great surprise partly due to the opposition – the Basques are a good side who are in great form, especially at their Anoeta ground where Barca historically always seem to struggle, failing to win there since 2007.

Real Sociedad striker Juanmi had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside which would have made it 2-1 to the home side, while Carlos Vela hit the post late on and Esteban Granero also missed a glorious chance to win the game. “The draw gives us a point and we will take that”.

“I’m perhaps enjoying my best period right now”, he said.

“I think you should leave the guy in peace”, he said.

Barcelona defender Samuel Umtiti has told France Football he sometimes found the club’s play “boring as s–” under Pep Guardiola.
