"Nothing is impossible": for the Dutch Ronald Koeman and Frenkie de Jong, FC Barcelona "still believes" in its chances of qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, despite the 4-1 slap received at the 'go against Paris, which they face on Wednesday.


Remontada, possible?


Ronald Koeman:

“The Cup match gave us a lot of confidence.

But you can't compare a 2-0 away loss in the first leg with a 4-1 loss at home.

It is much more complicated.

In addition, PSG is a very strong opponent who aspires to win the Champions League.

To have hope, you have to be efficient, realistic, but we will try!

Whatever the stadium, Barça always enters a field to win.

Tomorrow, we will play to win.

Nothing is impossible.

The worst that can happen to us is that tomorrow, after the match, we tell ourselves that we did not give the maximum to qualify or to win ”.

Frenkie de Jong:

“You always have to believe in it.

It starts there: believe it.

We will see tomorrow, but we have always believed that it is possible to come back, of course ”.

When he is not available to play, for us, it's better, it's easier ... I don't know how to say it, but if Neymar is not in the team you are facing, it is 'is easier, that's clear ”.

Messi, 100%?


Koeman: “If we hope to come back, we will need all the players at their best.

We can, if Leo makes one of his best games, then anything is possible.

He's a player who can rock any game, any time.

But it won't be up to Leo alone.

There are other players as well.

It will depend on the start of the match, if we are able to compete ... "

Laporta, president of hope?


De Jong: “We are happy that there is finally a president at Barça.

It's important for the club.

Personally, I don't know him very well, I haven't spoken to him yet, but we'll talk to each other soon.

It's good to have a president now.

He wished the whole team good luck, and asked us to go to Paris to compete ”.

Koeman: “Laporta has a positive past with Leo (Messi) and other players on this team.

I don't know if this changes anything for Leo, the only one who can decide his future is himself.

But of course all Barca want him to stay with us.

Laporta won the elections with a large lead, I think it's good for the club to finally have a president, to be able to work and improve the future of the club.

He is a president who gives the players great confidence ”.
