"If we beat Barça tomorrow and get to within seven points we will enter another dimension"

Michel's press conference before the match against Barça

"Tomorrow we have to be ourselves. We will have to play a great game and prevent them from being at their best. We have to be at 100 per cent".

"I'm very happy with my team's performance and it's the best time to go and play against Barça"

"It's a team in our league but it's clear that Barça have the obligation to be at the top."

"For us it's a dream to be where we are. We have had an incredible and spectacular start to the season"

"It's four points behind Barça but they've only dropped points against Real Madrid on Montjuïc"

"If we are able to make Barça run backwards it will be good for us. But Barça will press us high and man up and they will want to stop us making the first and second passes. The challenge we have is to keep the ball at our feet for longer"

"Obviously in my head there is the possibility of winning but there will be few teams who can go to Barça's ground saying they are favourites. We are a very humble team and if we think that we can play one-on-one we are wrong. We will suffer a lot and that is what I have told the players. It will be very difficult to carry out our idea of the game for the whole match”

"Our objective is to play in Europe. If we beat Barça tomorrow and get to within seven points we will enter another dimension. It would have a lot of repercussions for the whole world and it would be a very important leap in quality"

"Mentality, personality, suffering. These are words we must use tomorrow"
