What They're Saying

Athletic Bilbao manager Mikel Balenziaga (via Inside Spanish Football): "They [Barcelona] always have a lot of possession of the ball and their rivals always have to suffer defensively, particularly when they start playing through the middle."

Barcelona defender Jordi Alba (via Inside Spanish Football): "The key in the match could be to maintain the idea we've had throughout the season; have the ball, combine well. They're strong and it will be a tough match. We can't be careless because they're dangerous."
