“I'm happy for Iturbe’s goal, he wanted to stay at all costs and was motivated. I’m convinced that it will be his year – from little things you can tell how much the Giallorossi shirt means to him.

“Iago Falque is a functional player, he’s good in both phases and knows how to cross very well, he fits perfectly with Dzeko.

“Barcelona are an incredible team with no weaknesses. We will need to be at 200 per cent to bring home a result. The atmosphere at the stadium will certainly be beautiful.”
