Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta says he's ready to fight for his place after Philippe Coutinho's arrival.

Iniesta is adamant he is still worth his place in the starting XI.

"I'm a club player and I've always said that anyone we have has to be the best and he's one of the best," the Spaniard said.

"He's an innate talent and he has come to this club to continue developing and improving as a player.

"I'm not [worried or thinking about] retirement or losing my place in the team, that's not an issue for me and I want us to achieve our goals together.

"Coutinho coming in doesn't affect me. He is one more player, another teammate and what's good for the club is good for everyone.

"The coach will decide who plays but I feel good and I'm doing well. There will be no problems between teammates."
