Barcelona star Andres Iniesta has discussed the impending World Club Championship, and said that victory for the Blaugrana in the tournament would be a historic moment for the club.

The Camp Nou side qualify for the competition courtesy of their Champions League win over Manchester United at the end of last season in the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Iniesta urged his teammates to go for glory in the event and that they regard the tournament as a very important title.

Marca reports that the midfielder said, “This title is important to us and for the whole club in general and also for the fans. It makes us very excited and we are keen to play.

“We had the opportunity to be in this competition three years ago, we have everything to win and that would be historic.”

Iniesta also highlighted that he knew little about Barcelona’s potential opponents, and that their lack of knowledge makes the other sides dangerous.

“Most of the opponents are unknown to us, but to play in this competition they have to be champions of their respective countries and this must be taken into account.

“There is no time to relax because any team can win.”
