"I hope the team feels good and confident. We have to respect Copenhagen. The most important thing is that we do our job, and we'll have to play at our best. It won't be an easy match. The goal is to qualify in the top eight. We're focused on our own game, on what's at hand. We have a tough match. We won't make excuses, and we're eager and confident. We're confident in our style, in how we play. This is the Champions League, and it's about reaching our full potential."
"He's a great player in several positions. His mentality in every match is excellent. He's also very good with the ball, and I'm happy he's staying longer. When players come up from La Masia to the first team, it's perfect. I think he enjoys every day."
Barcelona need a win against Copenhagen to secure a top-eight finish and automatic progression to the Champions League last 16. The club sits ninth, one of several teams on 13 points entering the final group match. The team must perform at its best while showing respect for Copenhagen, with confidence and focus emphasized. Frenkie de Jong is suspended and Pedri is sidelined through injury, necessitating midfield adjustments. Fermin López has five goals in six Champions League games this season, the most by a Spanish Barcelona player in a single edition since Luis Enrique's six in 1999-2000. Barcelona average 2.9 Champions League goals under Hansi Flick (61 in 21 games).
