Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta insists his side will be going all out for the win in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final showdown with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu (match betting - Real Madrid 13/8, draw 12/5, Barcelona 17/10).

The Catalan outfit were beaten by Real in the Copa del Rey final last week but Iniesta has already started thinking about the Champions League final, despite the fact they still have to get past fierce rivals Real.

He said: "I am dreaming of going out there at Wembley. We must think only of going over (to Madrid for Wednesday's first leg) and scoring some goals and then in the return our fans will drive us on to Wembley."

However, the Spanish international midfielder will not be taking Real lightly, but he is eager to secure a first-leg win at the Bernabeu.

He added: "We must concentrate on our own game, try to keep it tight at the back and attack well to try to get the win, score some goals to ensure the first leg leaves us with an advantage.

"Every match is different - this one will be too, as will the second leg."

The meeting on Wednesday will be the third clash between the two Spanish giants this month, after playing out a 1-1 draw in Madrid in La Liga and Real's extra time Spanish cup victory (Barcelona EVS to win the Champions League, Real Madrid 3/1).
