Barcelona coach Guardiola is aware that it wont be easy task for them ,but still they try to do everything to raise trophy again.

“Since the Milan of Arrigo Sacchi did so in a different format, nobody has been able to win two titles in a row,” said Guardiola. “The Champions League is the most difficult competition and it always motivates us. We will need to be at our best to reach the final, game by game.”

“They have four or five players 6″3 or taller,” he said. “They are very dangerous from dead balls. German sides always compete very well and keep going until the last minute. We will look to score, as a goal will be vital to make it through to the quarter-finals.”
