Iniesta savours 'good taste' of last Clasico after draw

Andres Iniesta said Barcelona avoiding defeat despite Sergi Roberto's first-half red card means he leaves Clasico meetings against Real Madrid with a "good taste".

The 33-year-old, who will leave Barca at the end of the season, played 58 minutes before being replaced by Paulinho, departing the Camp Nou pitch to a standing ovation.

The nine-time L aLiga champion is expected to complete a switch to the Chinese Super League and said he is struggling to cope with the physical challenge of big matches.

But with Barca remaining on track to go the entire La Liga season unbeaten, Iniesta was happy to be able to go out on a high.
