Barcelona confident despite trailing Espanyol

  • SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona head coach:

    "It is not the first time that we have to face a team being behind on the scoreboard. We have done it in other matches with less of a margin. In this case it is a qualifying match, heads or tails. It is clear that we have a disadvantage, which the score suggests and we have an advantage which is that we play at home and we hope that our fans will help us. These are games that motivate people, that motivate us to also give the best of ourselves and above all to get to the next round." (painted with training footage)

    SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona head coach:

    "Who is the favourite? This team or the other one? I do not care if people think we're the favourite team. If we are considered the favourites for tomorrow it is only an opinion. But we are not winning. In fact a 0-0 would eliminate us and put us out of the competition. We do not mind being favourites because it does not mean anything to us. There are people who do not like being the favourite because it seems to be a burden on their team. Consider us the favourite, they can do it, but we have to do a job tomorrow and we will try to do it well." (painted with training footage)
