Andres Iniesta praises "excellent" Barcelona

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has said that his side are "not taking anything for granted" after their Champions League victory over Manchester City.

The Catalan giants ran out 2-0 winners in the first leg of their last-16 tie, but Iniesta insists that their opponents are capable of winning at the Camp Nou.

"The result is an excellent one for us," UEFA.com quotes him as saying. "City have a fantastic team and play at a very high level which a game like this demands.

"We now have the return leg at home and although the result is a good one, we are not taking anything for granted. Taking into account the level of our opponents, we can't afford to."

The second leg will take place on March 12.
