Xavi said during the press conference for the match, “Tomorrow is a big opportunity for the club. Montjuïc must be a pressure cooker, like the magic nights at the Camp Nou. They will push us to the top, and make us compete man-to-man. We have to show a lot of character to reach the semi-finals.”
Regarding the team news, he said, “Pedri is ready and can play for 90 minutes. We will evaluate that. He is important to us. The loss of Christensen and Sergi Roberto hurts us. They are very sensitive losses, but the key tomorrow is to be a united, supportive team.”
Regarding the opponent, he commented, “Luis Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain have so many players and substitutes that you do not know what changes they can make. We have a very clear structure in defense and attack regardless of what the opponent does. We did that in the first leg, and tomorrow we will repeat that.” “.
He continued: “I have not seen a match for Luis Enrique’s team in which they did not rely on attack, and tomorrow they will play more offensively, as they have to win the match. I do not think they will change their style in the match.”
Xavi concluded his statements by saying, “I am excited for tomorrow’s match. I am happy and very excited.”
The Barcelona team put one foot forward in the semi-finals of the Champions League, after the victory it achieved over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg with a score of three goals to two, in the match that brought them together, at the “Parc des Princes” stadium in the heart of the French capital, Paris.
