“We have high strength when undergoing matches at  Camp Nou, but a 0-0 draw is a dangerous result for the match in the second leg. “We have to win at home and the supporters must give a high boost because all will be determined in the second leg,” says Ernesto Valver at a news conference quoted from Sport.

Although he was worried about the chances of his team in the second leg, Valverde remained satisfied with the performance shown by his players, saying that they showed the quality of the game that was quite good even if they could not win with the various opportunities they got.
