"We're playing against Elche; last year at home, they had more possession. Eder has done a fantastic job. They play very well, they're very brave. They have an attractive style of play and create a lot of chances; I love watching them play, The big moments of the season are here, important moments, and every game is one game closer. We have to be switched on and focused."
"Ultimately, we're Barça, it's normal to want to win every title. La Liga, Copa del Rey, the Champions League - it's not easy. We have to work hard and do things better than in the past. There's no room to wait and see how the game unfolds; we have to start strong from the beginning and not wait until the end of matches. Our attitude and mentality are good, and that's one of our greatest strengths."
FC Barcelona will attempt to extend a one-point lead at the top of La Liga with an away match against Elche at Estadio Manuel Martinez Valero. A 3-2 victory over Real Oviedo reclaimed top spot, and Real Madrid's later kickoff presents a chance to increase the advantage. Elche, under Eder Sarabia, play a brave, attractive style, create many chances and had more home possession last season. Barcelona directly qualified for the Champions League Round of 16 after beating FC Copenhagen and aims to compete for La Liga, Copa del Rey and the Champions League, requiring strong starts, focus and careful energy management.
