What They're Saying
Barcelona manager Luis Enrique (via Inside Spanish Football): "It will be a difficult game at Huesca. We have to confront the game with the utmost seriousness. We don't want to be surprised. For them, it's a unique and special game, one which they will look to hurt us and win. That means we have to be switched on and take it seriously. It's a competition which we want to go far in."
"[On rotations] It's the logical thing," Enrique added. "These games are good to have a look at players who haven't been able to feature much so far. We'll report the playing list at 10 a.m. tomorrow, which will then be passed onto the players as always."
