That doesn’t mean we underestimate other games, we don’t do that. If that was the case, we wouldn’t have achieved what we have”.

“we will have more days to rest (if Barcelona are eliminated). That’s no problem, because last season, without the cup, we got 99 points in the league and go to the semi finals of the Champions League”.
