We have few players to make transitions over 40 to 45 metres. We are not good at that. We have Bernardo Silva and have had David Silva. Jeremy Doku is an incredible player for five metres - but over 45 metres, he is not Leroy. It's not a big problem. For eight years we are used to playing with the ball more comfortably all together, but when Kevin has the ball and Erling Haaland has the pace to run 40 metres, give him the ball and let him go up against the keeper and central defender.
It's getting better and tougher. I had the feeling when I arrived in Barcelona in the first years that we would reach the semi-finals. Now it is so difficult. Teams are better and managers are better.
No, I wouldn't say that. Every step you do is so complicated and demanding. You have to be good in the right moments - mentally and physically. Winning titles is so difficult. I give the same credit to the first title we won in Barcelona to the last one.

...BETTER RESULTS THAN BARÇA?

Jacob Neestrup
Manager on Copenhagen...ABOUT MATCH
We know we are 3-1 down, playing the best team in the world. It is close to impossible but we will be ready for this and will try our absolute best for Danish football. We might not be able to get through but it makes a massive difference if we put in a good performance rather than completely fold.
