Barcelona's Spainish international midfielder Andres Iniesta began to look ahead to the UEFA Champions League final on Wednesday.

Barcelona drew 1-1 in the second leg of the quarter final tie away to Bayern Munich on Tuesday night. A goal from Seydou Keita after 73 minutes was enough to make the tie secure after Frank Ribery had opened the scoring two minutes into the second half.

Barcelona had won the first leg 4-0 in the Camp Nou Stadium and will now play English Premier League outfit Chelsea in the last four.

"The next tie is going to be very interesting and very good to watch," Iniesta told the official Barcelona website.

"What we have to do now is remember that we are just two games away from the final in Rome."

Barcelona's motivation will be higher than ever for the matches against Chelsea. Last season saw the Catalans lose a tense semi-final against eventual winners Manchester United, while they have never lost a home game in Europe against Chelsea.

"Everything went perfectly against Bayern and I am very happy for the squad. It was important for us not to lose this game," said Iniesta.

Meanwhile his team mate Dani Alves is also looking forward to the semi-final.

"We will go into the games with the highest possible level of concentration, because it is the last step on the way before getting to the final in Rome," he said.
