Before their matchup with Manchester United in the second leg of their Europa League round of 16 matches, Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has indicated he will let his players know that he is under pressure.
Last week, the teams fought to a 2-2 tie at Camp Nou.
Xavi acknowledges that United are one of the continent’s top teams right now, but he wanted to relieve his players of the strain.
“This is the best United in recent years. They are back; they are even competing for the Premier League. It’s the perfect setting to show that Barca can compete against a big European team.
“I will tell the players: ‘The pressure is on me, go out there and enjoy this stage.’ I would give anything to play again at Old Trafford on a big European night with a special atmosphere,” Xavi said.
