leg defeat, Andres Iniesta says
Barcelona will need their "best game of
the season" to advance.Andres Iniesta believes Barcelona need perfection
in order to pull off another miraculous comeback
and reach the Champions League semi-finals at
the expense of Juventus.
The Catalans saw off Paris Saint-Germain to book
their ticket for the last eight, recovering from a 4-0
defeat in the first leg by winning the return match
6-1 at Camp Nou
Barca find themselves in a precarious situation
once more following last week's 3-0 loss in Turin,
but Iniesta refuses to throw in the towel.
"There are a lot of similarities compared to the
game against PSG. We need to have the same
attitude right from the first minute," Iniesta stated
at a news conference ahead of Wednesday's
second leg.
"It will be complicated to pull off another
comeback, but I am sure it is possible. We have to
play a perfect game. We have to create the
maximum number of chances and score goals. We
probably need our best game of the season.
"An early goal would be a boost, but we have to be
patient. We cannot afford to lose patience if the
goal does not come.
@andresiniesta8 : "Against Juventus you
have to be patient and try to be effective
on attack." #FCBLive

"I think Juventus have only conceded two or three
goals this Champions League. But this does not
change anything for us. We know that we have the
potential to score goals. I am convinced they know
we can hurt them.
"The first leg was a bad result for us. We did not
do the things we had to do. It is a complicated
task, but we have the players to turn things around.
We need a perfect match."
