Barcelona's Andres Iniesta claims Arsenal play the best football in England



The Spain international has come out in praise of Arsene Wenger's side ahead of this week's Champions League tie with Man City
 

Barcelona star Andres Iniesta has no doubts about his favourite English team - and it’s not super-rich Champions League opponents Manchester City.

Iniesta said: “I think Arsenal still play the best football in England. They play in a style in the way that most emulates what we do at Barcelona - and what is in our opinion the right way to approach the game.

“They may not have spent what other teams have in England - but their football philosophy is the most attractive in England.”

Barca arrive in England this week for the clash with Manchester City on Tuesday.

Iniesta added: “Of course we are expecting two very tough games against City - they have players that would get into any squad in Europe.

“We have to show them respect - because they have so many players that are capable of causing us problems. They are used to scoring many goals in their games in England - but we will represent a different challenge. They won’t find things has easy has they have been in England.”

“Many of the players at Barcelona know David Silva very well. It is very simple - he is one of the best and most intelligent players in the world. It will not be an easy job keeping him quiet - but it is something we must try and do.”
