Barcelona captain Andres Iniesta admitted on Thursday it is impossible to ignore security concerns ahead of Saturday's huge clash between Real Madrid and Barca in the Spanish capital just days after a series of deadly attacks in Paris. The Spanish government have promised security measures on an unprecedented level for the match that will see a capacity 81,000 fans descend upon the Santiago Bernabeu with 2,400 police, stewards and emergency services set to form a triple ring of security around the stadium.
"The situation generates concern for everybody. It is inevitable, I think we all agree on that," said Iniesta. "From what I know and what the security forces are saying, all possible measures will be taken and everyone should collaborate so that before, during and after the game a sporting spectacle can take place."
