That they are available for the first time in all the season, also. And more having, in this case, in account that are speaking of the captain. The presence of Alexia gives us a lot of futbolística and anímicamente. I think that it does not touch to speak if I am optimistic or no with his return in the previous of a so important party. Our priority is that it play when it was in the best possible conditions. We do not have to put him any type of pressure", aimed.

The Barça wants to classify in the Camp Nou

The English groups are very competitive, but one of the reasons by which fiché by the Barça was because it wanted to struggle by titles like the Champions. It is a big challenge for me, also like that of game of the team"
