The clash against barcelonA
"The most important thing is tomorrow’s match. We are only thinking about that. Having Lionel Messi up against us will require us to take on our responsibilities and to be solid in defence. We will do all we can to put in a good performance, to keep the ball and pick up a good result. The absence of several teammates is a shame but we have a squad with excellent quality who will take on their responsibility. There is no favourite in this match. We are a big team, just as FC Barcelona are. It will be very difficult, but we are ready to play this match. The best team will win it.”
His place in the team
“I am feeling really good in the team, I am full of confidence. The arrival of Mauricio Pochettino and the confidence that he has in me makes me very happy. I will do my best on the pitch to help the team.”
