"We have the opportunity to finish in the top eight, and that's our goal,"
"We didn't start this Champions League well, but ultimately we have a chance to be among the eight, and that's what we want, because it would mean having two fewer games and would help us recover."
"But if we have to play two games, we'll play them."
Barcelona beat Slavia Prague 4-2 to move into ninth place with 13 points ahead of the final Champions League group match at home against FC Copenhagen. The top eight teams advance directly to the knockout stage while places ninth to twenty-four enter the play-offs. Eight teams are level on 13 points, making the table tightly congested and increasing the importance of other fixtures and goal difference. Barcelona sit on +5 goal difference while PSG, Newcastle and Chelsea have superior records. Barcelona must beat Copenhagen and hope for favorable results elsewhere; Hansi Flick emphasized the benefit of avoiding two extra games.
