"We've already played against tough opponents, like Bayern, and now we face Barça,"
"Barça is a top team, with great attackers. It doesn't matter who starts. The most important thing will be to be well-organised, keep a tight defence, and stay on top of the ball,"
"Lamine is a great player. Many coaches have tried to stop him, and it's impossible. We have a plan for Lamine, but the main objective is to reach our best level."
"We'll have to be skillful defensively, make the most of our strengths, and then try to play the ball well. I won't have any problem being defensive."
FC Barcelona faces FC Copenhagen on the final league-phase matchday of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League. Barcelona sit ninth and need a large victory plus favorable results elsewhere to reach the top eight. Copenhagen manager Jacob Neestrup warned his side will be organised, defensively tight, and focused on ball control to make the game difficult. Neestrup acknowledged Lamine Yamal's quality and reported a specific plan to limit him while stressing the team must reach its best level. He praised former Copenhagen player Roony Bardghji's recent development and expressed confidence in a defensive, strength-based approach.
