‘Of course, I’d have liked to win more ‘: Andres Iniesta reveals he wished he had had more Champions League success during his time at Barcelona… despite winning the tournament FOUR times with the club
- Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta says he wishes he’d won more with the club
- Andres Iniesta won his fourth Champions League trophy with Barcelona in 2015
- Barcelona have been knocked out in the quarter-final ever year since then
It appears some people are never satisfied, as Andres Iniesta has revealed he would’ve liked to win the Champions League more times than the four trophies he achieved with Barcelona.
Iniesta, on the front cover of Club del Deportista this month, spoke to the magazine about Barcelona’s recent misery in the competition, combined with the success of Real Madrid.
‘I don’t feel angry,’ said Iniesta (via Goal). ‘Of course, I’d have liked to win more Champions Leagues. Who wouldn’t?’

However, Andres Iniesta also says that he wished he’d have won more while at Barcelona
He does admit that he should feel proud of the four Champions League titles he has picked up during his career though.
‘I think the people have to feel proud of what was achieved, because it made them happy.
‘Beyond that, you can’t do anything. Madrid won Champions Leagues, they’ll be happy about that, and they won’t be happy for having not won the league titles that other teams won.
‘It’s true Barca had the squad in the last few years to have been able to take another step forward in the Champions League.’
Barcelona last won the Champions League in 2015, with Andres Iniesta still at the club. Since then, they’ve been knocked out at the quarter-final stage every year. They will face Manchester United in the quarter-finals this year.
Iniesta left Barcelona last year after 16 years at the club, during which time he scored 57 goals and provided 140 assists in all competitions. He now plays for Vissel Kobe in Japan.
