Statements by Sergio Sánchez
“Since the team has been progressing further in various competitions, it’s obviously become more difficult. We need to get a good result from tomorrow’s match, to enable us to determine our qualification to the next round in front of our fans at La Rosaleda.”
“There is absolutely no doubt that Barcelona play an enviable style of football in every single match, which is reflected in their first place position in the League. With regards to Sunday’s match, I think it was fairly balanced, but as the game went on we started to lose our way. Anything can happen however, and Barça can also lose matches.”
“We need to focus on playing the best football we can, and hopefully they’ll have a bit of an off day! However Barça will be even more confident at their home ground, so we need to try and impose our dynamic and philosophy of play in order to be in with a chance of winning.”
“We’ve got three matches against Barcelona, so we need to learn from our mistakes and try and improve so we don’t make any more errors on the pitch. We need to perform better to beat them.”
