The fact that we&#8217;re in a final having beaten an opponent as strong as Real Madrid means a lot,&#8221; he was quoted as saying by Eurosport.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had one of the best teams around in front of us and we have even more reason to celebrate because it is very difficult to achieve the feat of reaching a final.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Iniesta then shrugged off the bad blood that has broken out between the teams of late.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These things are normal. Going beyond the rivalry, beyond fighting for your own interests, fair play must take precedence. I just want to talk about football and not about non-sporting matters.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Iniesta stressed that the tournament is not yet won, with Manchester United or Schalke awaiting Barcelona in the final at Wembley on May 28.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have taken a very important step but we still have to play the final.
