Iniesta relieved as Barca edge nine-goal thriller

Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta admits he was relieved his side held on for a win in their nine-goal thriller with Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend.

Lionel Messi fired a super hat-trick but that only told half the story on a night of sensational drama at Riazor.

It seemed the Catalans were on their way to a thumping win on Saturday after Jordi Alba, Cristian Tello and Messi all struck within the first 18 minutes but Depor replied with a Luis Pizzi penalty and an Alex Bergantinos strike.
