"Barcelona" club security guard Andres Iniesta believes that the current La Liga champions have not yet reached optimal physical form and can perform better in matches. Over the weekend, Gerardo Martino's players defeated Madrid's "Real" team 2:1 in a crucial match at the Camp Nou stadium, distancing themselves from their rivals by six points in the league table. However, the Catalans cannot afford to relax, as Atletico Madrid is close behind them. "I think we have not yet reached our optimal sporting form. We know the elements of the game that we need to improve in order to compete for all trophies in the decisive stage of the season," the Spaniard told "Barca TV" journalists. "We know that Real Madrid players become very dangerous when they have more space on the field, so we tried our best to restrict their actions as much as possible. Both Neymar and Alexis played a great match. Their talent and contribution to the team's victory are indisputable. These two players can help Barcelona win many important victories in the future, and that is what we all want," shared A. Iniesta after the El Clasico match. The defender did not dwell on the current situation in the Spanish championship table, as he believes the season is still in its early stages: "Every point is not extremely critical now, but we have to admit that in matches against Real Madrid, the entire team enters the field with a different attitude. Just the fact that we play against Real gives us additional motivation." On Tuesday, the Catalan club will visit the city of Vigo, where they will face the "Celta" team in the eleventh round of La Liga. Iniesta notes that the team cannot afford to relax in this match: "If we don't win against Celta, our victory against Real will lose its meaning. We will have accomplished nothing."
