The heart of the matter

'I don't feel angry,' said Iniesta . 'Of course, I'd have liked to win more Champions Leagues. Who wouldn't?' 
'I think the people have to feel proud of what was achieved because it made them happy.

He further elaborated:

'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.

What's next?

Barcelona is scheduled to play against Atletico Madrid in the league next before making a trip to England to play Manchester United in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie on April 10.
