"I'm very happy to have an opponent of this calibre. Barça has always been and continues to be a huge club. I think we have to be very prepared to compete against a rival like this. But if we impose our game and our will, it can be a great match, and we have a chance to come away with the victory."
"When it comes to Barça, the preparation always has to be a little more intense, a little stronger. You have to be really hungry. The coach has given us that energy, that determination. We have to show what we can do on Saturday, and that's what we're going to try to do."
"Lamine, from what I've seen, is a player who is developing a lot and has everything it takes to be one of the greats. But, as you say, Barça in general has very good players. Pedri, Lamine, Cubarsi... it will be a challenge to face them."
