Jordi Alba, FC Barcelona team midfielder“It is a very difficult game. Last year we lost against Milan and Celtic. They are always very difficult rivals. Ajax is also a rival that likes to play football. A very aggressive team when they possess the ball. Very tough players mainly going forward. A very difficult group, but Barcelona are always compelled to make it to eight finals. We will try to win all games and make it to eight finals.”
Jordi Alba, FC Barcelona team midfielder“Our coach insists that in past years we have lacked of aggressiveness in our forward area. And this year we are pushing forward around Leo (Lionel Messi) and this is also good for our defence. Because we are able to put pressure forward so we have the ball far from our goal.”
Jordi Alba, FC Barcelona team midfielder“(about Valencia CF) The other day they played a good game against Malaga. Then against Espanyol they didn’t play well. We all heard the statements from their coach. And surely after that game they will play against us even more aggressively. I played with them three yeas and the games against Barcelona have always been special derbies. All fans, players and the coach take this game as a final. It is clear that they will play well. Even more so because of the result from their last game.”
