Jordi Alba expects 'huge test' against PSG

Jordi Alba has spoken to the media ahead of the crunch Champions League meeting on Tuesday evening.

The game

“PSG are a huge opponent. We won’t have our fans to help us but we’ll try to play a great game. It’ll be a tight tie and small details are going to decide it.”

“Personally I prefer not to face players like Neymar or Di María. But PSG have great players and whoever takes their places will do just as well or similarly.”

“We are also missing some important players but the ones taking their places are doing brilliantly.”

Ronald Koeman

“He always has the same idea. There were a lot of new faces, so it wasn’t easy for him. But we are the same players that started the season. We have found our form now, but if we aren’t at 100% anyone can beat us.”

The team

“We are alive in every competition. Fact is we have a big gap to make up in the league but we’ve been playing really well for the last two months. It wasn’t a good result in the cup but we’ll worry about that when the time comes.”

“The idea that everyone has here is to put Barça as high up as possible, and let’s hope that is always the case.”

Leo Messi

“Whatever decision he makes will be one he's thought about long and hard. I'm happy whenever he's on the field, he makes me a better player."
