Meeting Highlights…STANDINGS
We again have a chance to get second place. Girona's draw gives us the opportunity. Imanol is doing a great job. They do things very well as a group. He is a difficult opponent who will surely make it difficult for us. The team is eager to show that they can beat a team like Real Sociedad. It would be a major setback not to get second place. There are four games left and it is a vital game for us. It would mean a lot for us to recover that second place.
…PEDRI
It doesn't depend on me whether I go to the Euro Cup or not. There is a coach who decides. I have seen it well. This week he has trained very well but he is one hundred percent and available to play.
…THE OPPONENT
They do everything very well. Defending in a low block, pressing, winning duels... I hope for a brave Real Sociedad tomorrow.I already said last year that I think Zubimendi is a very good man. But he is not the only one. Merino, Kubo, Barrenetxea... They are players who do very well and who are TOP.
…STARTERS
For Barça, playing four good games can always change the dynamic for a player. I have the eleven in mind and I will surely not change it because we have trained in a specific way.

Manager on Real Sociedad…BARÇA
The matches in Barcelona are always difficult, they are top-level players and we will have to show our best version to achieve a positive result.
…JAVI GALAN
It is a small fissure with which, we believed that he could still be there for Monday, because his desire shows it, although the pain has prevented him from doing so. We will see when it is available, but we have to wait.
…INJURY REPORT
Tierney's return is good news. Until now he has only done individual work and today was the first training session with the group. With risk, but I think he will make the list. Zubimendi's progress is good, but he will not make it to Monday's game. We have great challenges ahead, there is a lot at stake and the team is well into the final stretch. He is progressing well but he does not arrive on Monday, more as a precaution, so that he can be in perfect condition for Thursday against Valencia.
…END OF THE SEASON
The performance has been good and the effort and work will not be lacking in the last games. We want to finish well, the players and the fans deserve a good end to the season after a beautiful year.
