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.”
