Andres Iniesta is looking forward to tonight’s titanic clash at the Camp Nou. The absence of Ibrahimovic, however, will be missed by both the player and the public.
“It’s a pity that he can’t play. He’s a great player and you always want to play against good players,” Iniesta explained at a press conference on Monday.
“He really wanted to come and play and it’s a shame he can’t make it. However, I don’t think that takes anything away from the game which should be fantastic.”
After all, Iniesta regards the entire AC Milan team as a fantastic one. He reminded Barcelona fans that the Catalans may not have a walk in the park on Tuesday night. Speaking about the Rossoneri, the 3-time UEFA Champions League winner stated:
“They are a club with seven European Cups. It doesn’t matter who is playing, they will always be one of the big teams.
“However they play, it’s a privilege to have the opportunity to play against a team like them.”
Last season, AC Milan fell in a group with Barca rivals Real Madrid. They qualified as runners-up behind Los Blancos. Tonight, Barcelona are poised to triumph on home soil en route to the group's top spot come the end of the group stages round.
