Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta has admitted that his stats "haven't been good this season".

The 30-year-old has not registered a single league goal or league assist this season, and his influence has been called into question in recent weeks.

However, the Spaniard believes that he is still contributing to the team despite the disappointment of his numbers.

"My stats haven't been good this season, far from it, but I've never looked at my game purely in terms of statistics," he told Onda Cero.

"Even so, I'm still happy with what I've done even if things sometimes don't go as planned. I'm my biggest critic so nobody needs to point anything out to me. After the disappointment of last year's World Cup it was hard and there were doubts, but an athlete must always be prepared.

"Right now fatigue is a secondary issue and the desire to win everything this year far outweighs that. We are heading into the final stretch with the opportunity to battle it out for everything."

In total, Iniesta has scored three times and registered three assists in 23 appearances in all competitions this season.
