We raised our game against Bayern and we can do it against Barca as long as we have the right team selection.
When we have faced Barcelona in the past, i always looked forward to their games and gave us a chance, esp at home. This season however, we are facing a simply outstanding team, their attackm and midfield are so good and create so much that it will be tough for us to keep them quiet. I know we kept Bayern at bay at home this season but for me Barcelona are a better side, esp upfront.
