…INJURY REPORT

Christensen and Sergi Roberto losses will be noticed, they are sensitive. Plus those of Balde and Gavi. Sanctions hurt. But I think the key is to be a team, in defence, in attack. Be supportive. You have to give up your skin and your life to get through. If we are a team we have a chance to pass. Everyone who is there is here to play. Pedri must be very important tomorrow.

…RAPHINHA

I think about the mentality, about the team. The improvement of the team is because everyone has thought about the group before themselves. He goes to space, he shoots... he has talent and is different. He did it in the first leg and I hope he will do it tomorrow too.

…INDIVIDUAL NOTES

I like both Pedri-Gündogan. If they have space and time... They are similar, they give us pause, tempo, last pass... tomorrow they will have to find the life to make walls... he is one of the most intense rivals. Cubarsí and Lamine are talking about improving. And that makes them great. It's a great European night. For them and for the club. Extra Motivation is not necessary.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

Going to the semi-finals would be a success. There is emotion, illusion. Seeing the culés excited again is a success. But passing would be a great success. For us it is a very big opportunity as a club. We are playing at home, a factor in our favour, Montjuïc must be like a magical night like those at Camp Nou. Luis Enrique will not speculate, I expect a match like the first leg. Man to man, attacking with a high defensive line... you have to have personality to pass. He will be brave, because he has the need to win. I see it as equal. We are excited. It is one of the best teams and coaches in the world.

…PREPARATION

This match is a little different because for us, there was no match between the two. We had the necessary time to analyse and try to improve our performance. We must present a better version of ourselves tomorrow. We are completely convinced that we can turn this situation around. We hadn’t lost for a long time. The two days after the match were difficult days. We had difficulty recovering physically and mentally. But there’s one good thing about professional football: there’s another match.

…WE ARE READY

We fall, we get up again, it's a high-level sport. A professional footballer must be used to this. I repeat: we are ready. PSG has never been able to reverse the score in the knockout phase. Tomorrow is the day we’re going to do it.

…XAVI AND BARÇA

Everything I can say will be badly received. Like I said before, I would have liked him to train me, but you're not interested in that. You are only interested in controversies. I'll say it again: I would have loved to be coached by Xavi. Obviously I would have preferred to play at Camp Nou, all the supporters too. Here at the Montjuïc stadium, there were the Olympic Games. I had the chance to participate in them. But Camp Nou is a legendary stadium. In this sense, I would like to always play against the best in the best stadiums. But this one is also at the level.
