"That's when the Barca turned the screw.If they can go out, be in the vanguard and change the pace of the game.
"I think the Barca are playing at their own pace, if they change the pace of the match and put it under pressure, we will have some chances and, hopefully, miss them.
"My heart says yes, they can, but it's more about what [Lionel] Messi is coming. He's great, he's done so much at the highest level for a consistent period of time.
