"It's not my problem if he goes with the National Team. He is training very, very well, it is not a question of saying if he is already 100% recovered because it is a process. But he's fine and can play,"
"They have taller players than us. But this isn't a problem; the important thing is attitude. It won't be a problem. I think it will be a similar match to the one we played the other day against Elche; there will be good moments and not-so-good ones. It's important for them to play at home, and they'll want to put on a good performance,"
"I said it before. The match will be difficult. Every match is. The players' mentality and attitude is focused on playing well and not losing possession. Against Elche, we took a big step forward. We saw that Lewandowski could play and contribute. It was positive. He trained well today as well. The players have very good quality."
Lamine Yamal has been experiencing discomfort from pubalgia but has been training very well and is considered fit to play, though full recovery is still a process. Selection for the national team is treated as a separate matter. Barcelona expect Club Brugge to field taller players but prioritize attitude and maintaining possession rather than height matchups. The upcoming match is expected to mirror moments from the recent Elche game, with alternating good and less-good phases. Robert Lewandowski showed positive contribution and trained well. Barcelona carry confidence from a recent Champions League win over Olympiacos and aim for another victory before facing Chelsea.
