Barcelona's head coach Xavi said what he expects from his team's match against Shakhtar Donetsk in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, which will take place today in Hamburg.
Xavi"Exit from the group is already within our reach (for this Barcelona only need not to lose to Shakhtar - ed.). This is a chance that we cannot miss.
But we need to learn to control the game to a greater extent, to impose our identity on the opponents, this is the key to success. It's not very easy, considering all our personnel problems: Pedri, Rafinha, Lewandowski and Kunde are in the process of recovery. All these players are vital for our team.
We want to play great football and win matches by a big margin. But this is an ideal scenario and it won't happen in every game, because apart from us, there is an opponent on the pitch: every opponent must be taken into account. But in any case, we must strive to dictate the game to a greater extent," Xavi said at the pre-match press conference.
