Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta 'p***** off' after Real Madrid fight-back

Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta was "p***** off" to finish his comeback with a draw against Real Madrid.

Sport says Iniesta left Camp Nou after 7pm, particularly hurt by what happened in the last minute. He said it to the media and later reiterated it to those closest to him: Barcelona deserved to win, but in an especially cruel ending they were not able to cut Madrid's lead in the table.

Iniesta told people close to him he was "p***** off" after the game. After such elation at getting back on the pitch, Sergio Ramos' goal was worse. Iniesta took the Clasico almost as a personal affair and was one of the Barcelona players most hit by what happened, although in public on social media he put on an optimistic face.

"It's difficult to accept an ending like that after such a big effort. I'm happy to be able to return and for the fans we have. Together we go on!" he wrote.
