(About Olympiacos)

"They are in need of a win as they have started the competition with two defeats. We may be surprised on the counter attack as they have fast and strong players. Defensively they will be physical and try to wear us out and then surprise us with the speed of their forwards. It is a team with enthusiasm that never surrenders."

SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Ernesto Valverde, Barcelona Coach.

"We think about winning those three points that keep us at the top of the table. We give a lot of importance to this match, aside from the fact that Olympiacos have not yet won, this is a fundamental game because it would see us reach nine points. That would make us face the second round with confidence to get more points. But we focus on tomorrow's game - that is very important."
