Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta hopes to play in more El Clasicos

Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta has said that he hopes this weekend's showdown with Real Madrid will not be his last taste of El Clasico action at the Bernabeu.

The 33-year-old put an end to speculation over his future earlier this season by penning a "lifetime contract" in the Catalan capital.

Iniesta continues to be linked with a move away from Camp Nou, however, meaning that Saturday's meeting could be the last time he faces Madrid on enemy territory.

Speaking to Mundo Deportivo, the Spain international said: "I would not know now if it will be or not but I hope it is not. People who can talk always talk but when one is focused in a place, my mind and my head do not look the other way.

"As I said a few months ago when I renewed, the time to say things will come. It is not something that you are thinking or feeling. I know I will have to make a decision but it will be when it has to be."

Iniesta has won eight La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns during his time at Barcelona.
