Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has warned his teammates not to think that they have the La Liga title already wrapped up.

Barca, who have yet to taste defeat in the league this season, will start the second half of the campaign nine points clear at the top of the table.

"We would be wrong to think [that we have won La Liga]," Sport quotes Iniesta as saying.

"Without a doubt we've been very good, and to be happy at this point would be easy. But I am convinced that if we think that, we will suffer."

Barcelona return to La Liga action on Sunday when they host local rivals Espanyol.
