It's very difficult." The La Liga crown means Barca send out Andres Iniesta, who is ending his 22-year association with the club at the end of the season, with a double. Messi said he would have loved to see Iniesta leave with a treble, but Barca were stunned in the Champions League quarter-finals by Roma. "We regret it in the Champions League that he cannot go with a treble," he said."But I think he goes in an impressive way, a double more than deserved for what he is and for all that he gave the club."We wish him the best."</blockquote>
