SOUNDBITE: (French) Laurent Blanc, coach of Paris Saint-Germain team:

"Yes, we do have hope. But just as you we know of the gigantic task we have to face tomorrow. Extremely difficult. But we didn't have enough much time to prepare. And I regret it. Because for games like this one we need to display our best football. But both Barcelona and Paris had only two days to prepare.

"It is good that we know people who have played for this team. They have tasted the culture of this club. So one can know more of the spirit of the club. The way they think. The philosophy. Believe me, we know very well the philosophy behind their football. It didn't change during all these years. It remains the same. Tomorrow we will face a team that wants to have possession of the ball. Because that is their philosophy."
