Andres Iniesta: 'We must beat Ajax'

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta calls on his side to respond to their defeat to PSG by beating Ajax in the Champions League this evening.

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has admitted that his side are 'obliged' to beat Ajax in their Champions League clash this evening.

The Catalan outfit lost their last group match to Paris Saint-Germain, placing more importance on the clash with the Dutch outfit.

"Ajax are a team like us that enjoys having a lot of the ball, so I'm sure that will require us to be very focused," Iniesta told La 1.

"Their boss [Frank de Boer] was also a stylish player and in that sense I think he has put his stamp on the team.

"The defeat in Paris obliges us all the more to try and get a win."

Barca also faced Ajax in the group stages last season – winning 4-0 at the Camp Nou.
