"They mustn't underestimate us! We're coming to give a good account of ourselves and get a result. Even though the match won't be played at Camp Nou, Montjuic is a very beautiful stadium, so we're going to do our best and make the most of the moment (smiles)," he told Flashscore.

The former West Ham and Fiorentina player highlighted the importance of squad rotation in maintaining freshness and performance levels.
