Barcelona full-back Jordi Alba hopes to “repeat the 6-1” against Roma but admits “they’ve improved since then”.
The Giallorossi were thrashed on their last visit to the Camp Nou, and they take on the Catalan giants again tomorrow night.
“We’re aware of our strength, that we have a great team and can beat anyone,” Alba noted, speaking in the pre-match Press conference.

The Giallorossi were thrashed on their last visit to the Camp Nou, and they take on the Catalan giants again tomorrow night.
“We’re aware of our strength, that we have a great team and can beat anyone,” Alba noted, speaking in the pre-match Press conference.
“Roma are a difficult team to face though, they’re very compact and that will cause us problems. We hope to repeat the 6-1, but they’ve improved since then.
“We’re also better in the year we won the treble with Luis Enrique, we’re on the right track.
“Can we do that again? There’s still a long way to go, we’re very confident but there’s a long way to go until the end of the season.”
Lionel Messi will return tomorrow, while Roma are without Cengiz Under.
“With Messi we all play better, so with him on the pitch our chances of winning increase. His presence on the pitch not only gives us confidence, it worries our opponents.
“As for Under, he’s a good player, it’s bad news for Roma that he can’t play so it’s better for Barcelona that way.”
