Barcelona coach Xavi: PSG favourites

Barcelona coach Xavi admits PSG is a difficult Champions League draw.

Barca will face PSG in the quarterfinals.

"Very difficult, one of the most difficult opponents we could have faced. I know Luis Enrique and his staff, how they work. I have confidence and enthusiasm. We face one of the most difficult rivals, although we have the return leg at home. It's time to dream," Xavi explained.

“Maybe I would give the role of the favourite to PSG, beyond history because we have more Champions Leagues. Above all on an economic level, what they and we have spent. Yesterday we watched the draw everyone together and the people are positive. You have to show it on the pitch, but there is enthusiasm and we're looking forward to it. It is a decisive moment to show it."

“They have the feeling that we have a very young Barca with talent, but inexperience. Perhaps they are right. Both Luis Enrique and the staff will see that we have positive and negative things. Maybe you see an inexperienced team, but we have a lot of enthusiasm and the desire to play two excellent games. We have it very difficult, they are one of the best teams in Europe and one of the best coaches in Europe."
