Andres Iniesta is desperate to earn bragging rights over close friend Cesc Fabregas and help Barcelona book their Champions League semi-final place.
Iniesta has remained close friends with the Arsenal skipper since they played together at youth level and is relishing the chance to face him in the quarter-final.
Iniesta said: “Playing against Cesc is not easy and there will be a great battle in the midfield area.
“I have known Cesc for years and I’m sure we will have a hug before each game, but once the whistle goes I will be doing everything to win the game. Cesc is a fantastic player and we have to stop him, especially in the first game.”
Iniesta knows Arsenal will want revenge for their Champions League Final defeat in May 2006.
