Barcelona ace Iniesta not bothered by Real Madrid's mental state

Barcelona ace Andres Iniesta is reluctant to talk up the psychological effect victory at Real Madrid had their great rivals.

Barca are back on top of the table following the 3-1 win.

"I don't know how the defeat will affect Real Madrid. I can only talk about my own sensations with our team, which are very good. For us it was really important to win," said Iniesta.

The midfielder is eager to win the Club World Cup this week after missing out on 2009's triumph due to injury.

"Personally, it's an extra motivation. That year I had lots of problems with injuries, and I really hope I can play in the Final."
