Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta says their style doesn't guarantee success.
Iniesta appreciates there are many ways to achieve success and can understand that other teams are suited to different methods.
He explained in The Independent: "We play the way we do because it suits us. If we played any other way we would not have the players to pull it off. It's pragmatic.
"We believe we have the best chance of winning playing this way but the football that Spain and Barcelona play is not the only kind there is. Counter-attacking football has just as much merit. There are many different styles and variations; that is what makes this such a wonderful sport."
