The egarense began standing out the difficulty of the clash in front of the Parisians and, of course, to cross to a technician that knows the house, as it is the case of Luis Enrique. "It is one of the most complicated rivals that it could touch us. I know very well to Luis Enrique, to his 'staff' and to a part of the staff. Have the illusion and the hope to do some good quarter-finals. It is moment to dream and show that we can compete in front of one of the best teams of Europe", commented.

The favouritism of the PSG and the feelings of the team

In this order of ideas, Xavi recalcó the fact that the French probably will be those who carry the label of favourites in this crash, but that, in spite of this, the FC Barcelona has conditions to face up him and take out a positive result of the eliminatory. "Perhaps yes they are favourite, but no an indulgent rival. We have more Champions that they, but his economic power has a different situation. To illusion and win do not go us to win. We will have to show it in the field, is very easy to speak. It arrives a moment decisive of the season", emphasized.

To his time, Hernández stood out how, after happening to quarter-finals of the League of Champions, seems to have gone back the illusion to do big things so much in the staff as in the Barcelona fans. "Especially, the people of the street. I see illusion after happening to chambers. In the culé, even in you, seems that it has gone back the illusion. To economic level also has gone us well, gives us stability and illusion", signalled.

In this sense, the one of Terrassa also allowed explain in brief how all this 'wave' of good results has affected positively in the picture culé and what more wait for the day of the eliminatory against the Paris Saint-Germain. "The team is in a state of confidence very good. It remains a lot still for the eliminatory. Ojalá Can recover to people, that do not have more injuries", puntualizó.

It served the duel in front of the Naples like a 'claim' in Champions?

To close, in what to the UEFA Champions League respecta, the egarense, in front of the interrogante on if the duel in front of the Naples (3-1) served like a species of claim of the combined Catalan in what to European context respecta, avoided to speak of this. This yes, stood out the special and important that went this commitment for them. "I seat that it went out well, but also it could have gone out badly. The football is like this, like this of unfair many times. The trainer of the Naples did changes and did not carry the reward. It was a round night, magic. We remain us with the things that did well and those that no, will correct them to improve them", concluded.
