Manager quotes

💬 Ronald Koeman (Barca): “It will be a difficult match, they have quality players and speed in attack. Our defence must be focused, we must control their attacking moves and look to do damage in the spaces we find in their half.” (h/t Marca)

💬 Serhiy Rebrov (Ferencvaros): “I think we have gained good experience against the best teams in the world in recent weeks. It will all benefit us, and it can give players confidence. The most important thing is to be competitive at this level, it is more important than the result.” (h/t Fradi.hu)

Predictions

Sports Mole‘s Ben Knapton: Ferencvaros 1-4 Barcelona

“Ferencvaros can certainly afford to feel optimistic about their chances of notching up at least one goal against a ravaged Barcelona defence, but the Blaugrana’s quality in the final third will certainly show, and the Catalan giants should march to a straightforward victory.”

90min‘s James Merrills: Ferencvaros 0-3 Barcelona

“Even without Messi, Barcelona have more than enough firepower to see off Ferencvaros. It will be a good opportunity to give players minutes but Koeman will be keen not to pick up any more injuries.”
