What They're Saying
Barcelona midfielder Xavi (via Inside Spanish Football): "You can't live in the past. Football is all about the present. I read the sporting newspapers every morning. I know I'm going to find critics and I like facing them. I struggle, they implicate me. I'm not one who lets those things get to me. I think about how we can improve and how we can win over the people. This is Barca. They're going to criticize you here. We talk about this in the dressing room. You can't live and die by the praise, nor the criticism."
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique (via the club's official website): "The important thing in games like these is for us to be in good condition. If we're on form, we are good enough to cope with any competition."
