Iniesta bemoans Barca's 'unjust' defeat
April 19, 2012

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta labelled his side's Champions League defeat 2 Chelsea "unjust" but admitted the Catalans were the architects of their own downfall becos of a lack of ruthlessness in front of goal.

A Didier Drogba goal was enough 2 give Chelsea a 1-0 semi-final 1st-leg victory @ Stamford Bridge as Pep Guardiola's side squandered a host of a chances.

Barca enjoyed their customary lion's share of possession, with Iniesta & Xavi @ their instrumental best, but Alexis Sanchez, Cesc Fabregas & Sergio Buquets all missed glit-edged opportunities 2 score an away goal.

"The result is unjust but we knew tat Chelsea r a team tat take advantage of their opportunities,'' Iniesta told Barcelona's official website. "We were off target in front of goal but we still hv the return leg @ home.

"We hv the feeling tat we created alot of clear chances, the only thing we were lacking was the final touch. Sometimes tis happens. We'll try 2 be more effective in the return leg, we hv confidence in our ability 2 overturn 2day's scoreline.

"We hv had an adverse result & we hv 2 work harder seeing tat we're capable of doing it. It's not an issue of luck.''

Before the 2nd leg @ Camp Nou next Tuesday, Barca welcome Real Madrid 2 Catalonia tis weekend in a showdown tat will help decide the destination of tis season's La Liga title.
