It is worth noting that Barcelona's coach, Xavi Hernandez, considered on Monday that after two eliminations in the group stage "it is time to take a step forward" in the Champions League, starting with a victory on Tuesday against Antwerp. "It is an excitement to return to this competition, it is time to take a step forward in European competition," Xavi said in a press conference prior to the match.

"I think it is the perfect scenario, we arrive at a good moment. Last year we were good in the national competition, but not in Europe. It is the competition to take the definitive step," said the Blaugrana coach, who, however, urges to proceed with calmness. "The objective is to advance from the group stage, then we can talk. We have to be in the round of 16 draw, it is our main goal after two years without achieving it."

Barça comes to the match encouraged by the 5-0 victory against Betis on Saturday in LaLiga, but Xavi wants to "slow down this euphoria" and tell the players that "they have done many things well, but there are other things that we had to correct."

Xavi also warns against Antwerp, which is coached by his former teammate at Barça, Marc Van Bommel. "It is a very dynamic rival, I would highlight the wings, Janssen as a reference forward, at the back they mix experience with youth, but above all, the dynamism, how they double up on the wings," Xavi said.

"Hopefully, we can give our best version, if it is the one from Saturday, perfect, if we play at the same level as on Saturday, it will be enough to compete, if we can maintain that level of play, it will be enough to compete in this very demanding competition," Xavi concluded.
