Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has backed up Xavi and Gerard Pique in hitting out at former Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho.

Xavi lashed out at the Portuguese's style of football and Iniesta feels that Mourinho's stint at Madrid "damaged" Spanish football.

Mourinho saw his stay at the Santiago Bernabeu come to an end three years before his contract was set to expire, and his departure came after a season of controversy.

The coach fell out with some players publicly and he was unable to replicate previous success as they ended the season without a trophy.

"You just have to look at the facts," the 29-year-old Iniesta said.

"Yes he damaged Spanish football, in general more harm than good.

"But I don't like talking about that person at all. So if you don't mind we'll leave it at that."
