Barcelona have nothing to lose ahead of Juventus clash - Pique

Barcelona defender Gerard Pique believes the
pressure will be off Luis Enrique's side when they
take on Juventus in the second leg of their
Champions League quarter-final.
Juve hold a 3-0 aggregate lead heading into
Wednesday's encounter at Camp Nou, with Paulo
Dybala's double and Giorgio Chiellini's second-half
header having claimed a convincing first-leg win.
Barca came back from a similarly bleak position in
the last round against Paris Saint-Germain,
however, and Pique insists that the Catalan giants
have nothing to lose, stating a good performance
will set them up perfectly for the upcoming Clasico
against Real Madrid.
"I feel good and I am ready for playing
against Juventus," Pique told reporters after
Barca's 3-2 LaLiga win over Real Sociedad.
"The team played in Turin without any confidence,
and that made us soft. But if we play with
confidence you will see another team.
"We are in a difficult situation, but these things
happen in a season. We will have nothing to lose.
"We only had a few chances [in the first leg], but I
am sure Camp Nou will be hard for Juventus. We
did it once already.
"The Juventus game and El Clasico are
closely linked. If on Wednesday we make a
comeback it would give us confidence, if we won't
it will be much harder going to Madrid.
"It is going to be a big week."
