In a gritty encounter in Camp Nou on Sunday, a single goal from Thierry Henry separated the two teams as the Blaugrana maintained their pursuit of Real Madrid.Samuel Eto'o said recently that Barça must employ substance over style, but Iniesta thinks that almost went too far against Racing as the home side ground out a result.
"We cannot become used to this situation. The first thing that we want is to play well and to win," the midfielder explained.
"We worked very hard for that. We gave everything to score another goal, but it was not to be.
"It was very important that we took all three points however."
Iniesta had hoped that Madrid would slip up in the derby against Atlético on Sunday, but after Los Merengues won he reiterated that Barça must be ready.
"The gap is the same for the time being, but what is most important is that we continue to win," he said.
"We hope that they will stumble soon.
"Our obligation is to win, but not by playing badly and not by wanting to play well. The results come when you do play well.
"The fans want to see the team play well because they have done so many times.
"We have to keep winning and be ready if Madrid drop points wherever. We have to win and expect them to lose or draw at some point."
