Pau Víctor says 'There's more excitement than pressure heading into the game'

The Barça Atlètic highlights the character and unity in the team before the vital match at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel

Final game of the season, but it's an important one, as it will decide who will be in the second division next season. Cordoba v Barça Atletic will be played at Estadio Nuevo Arcángel, following on from the one-all draw at Estadi Johan Cruyff. Rafa Márquez' side have "done superbly and are very high on confidence at the moment", according to Pau Víctor during an interview in the run up to the key clash. 


"There's more excitement than pressure heading into the game", expressed the player who was non-stop and a real difference maker during the one-all draw in the first leg. The team's desire in the second leg is evident, as Pau highlighted, stating "We have to enjoy the game and we have to try and play our way". All the same, the blaugranes clearly have a winning mentality, as he continued "We'll leave everything we have out there. We have to go for the win from the first minute".

Character and unity

Barça Atlètic have to win to confirm promotion. The first-leg draw favours Cordoba to some extent, but neither team can be considered favourites at the moment the blaugrana number 19 went on. That's also the case even though the game is being played in Andalusia. "We get motivation and find the character you need in games like this. I'm convinced it will go well again", added the Catalan. They have character and are united for this clash, as Pau considers that "we are a team that is very united".

Pau Víctor also spoke about figures such as Bernal, Héctor Fort and Rafa Márquez. The forward extolled the virtues of every member of the Barça Atlètic squad plus the work done by their Mexican coach. Every single one has contributed to "a season to remember even if promotion isn't achieved", declared a striker ready to take on the challenge of Cordoba again.
