"We must always play at our best for this shirt, even more so in this game since we have to overturn the scoreline from the first leg. The crowd will be our 12th man, but it’s up to us to get them going.   We’ll play our strongest line-up against Barcelona, then we’ll think about the derby. We must play with passion, heart and belief right up until the final whistle if we want to do the unthinkable. We have a duty to give it everything," told Di Francesco at the press conference. On his squad manager said: "Schick might play tomorrow, because he’s got an eye for goal. We’ll assess Cengiz today – if everything’s fine, he’ll be in the squad. Perotti is definitely ruled out. We hope to have him back for the derby, but it’s a long shot.” "We have to believe we can pull off this feat. We must have the right attitude, like we did against Chelsea. We’re up against a machine, they've only lost once. Barca's strength has been built over many years, it’s not happened overnight,"- concluded Di Francesco.
