Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona coach

There’s no fear, just huge excitement. We’re all aware that we have a very tough game ahead of us if we want to reach the semi-finals.

We’re aware of Manchester United’s strengths. We know we can’t let it become a game with chance after chance; we have to close off any space. If they get space to run into, they’re good. Obviously we’ll try to stop them scoring and score ourselves. Our priority is to score, not to go out thinking we have an advantage.


Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Man. United manager
The 1999 final is a fantastic memory. The last time I was on the pitch here was the only time. I don’t look back on that night too often; I’m just looking forward to seeing if we can play better against Barcelona. We are now 1-0 down at half-time, but if it is a game with many goals in it we stand a bigger chance.
