Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has said that his side are "not taking anything for granted" after their Champions League victory over Manchester City.

The Catalan giants ran out 2-0 winners in the first leg of their last-16 tie, but Iniesta insists that their opponents are capable of winning at the Camp Nou.

"The result is an excellent one for us," UEFA.com quotes him as saying. "City have a fantastic team and play at a very high level which a game like this demands.

"We now have the return leg at home and although the result is a good one, we are not taking anything for granted. Taking into account the level of our opponents, we can't afford to."

The second leg will take place on March 12.
