Barcelona head coach Xavi has shared his expectations for the match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.
Xavi"This is a vital game for us and it is really important in terms of getting out of the group. Winning the match against Shakhtar tomorrow is a key goal for us.
It's the Champions League, the biggest competition for clubs, and it's very important for us to get nine points out of nine. I don't need to distract anyone from Saturday's game against Real Madrid, because the Champions League always keeps you focused. We are focused on tomorrow's game, because it will not be easy.
"Shakhtar are a dynamic and strong team and I think they can cause us problems. We cannot lose concentration. "Shakhtar are in a difficult situation, away from their families. Speaking only in football terms, they have changed their coach, and now they have Srna, whom I know well and respect very much. There are quality players in the team and technically they are very good," Xavi is quoted by Barcelona's official website.
