Andres Iniesta has insisted that Barcelona will solely play to win all three points in El Clasico on Saturday.
Barcelona will travel to the Santiago Bernabeu to take on Real Madrid knowing that a point on the home turf of their most bitter rivals will maintain their position at the top of La Liga.
But Iniesta feels that it would be a dangerous mindset to head to the capital for a draw and Barcelona should solely focus on winning on Saturday.
He also added Barcelona need to take good care of the ball to minimise the dangerous attacking threats that Real Madrid possess.
“Our mindset is to go out there and win”, Iniesta told Marca.
