"Cuba, Lamine, Fermín, Bernal... Their quality is incredible, their match in Bilbao was incredible. Watching Cubarsí defend... He took a throw-in like a corner. He's at the same level as Lamine, but in defense. He's 19 years old and can play at the highest level imaginable."
"The Champions League is different. Everyone wants to give their best. I expect a good team, a good atmosphere. We have to play with that. It will not be easy. You have to know how to play against your fast players and find solutions."
"The Premier League is the best league in the world. Strong teams and a lot of money. They have a lot of teams in the next round. We have a lot of quality and continue to play as Barcelona know how to and show it to the fans."
