The Spanish giants are looking to pick up an 11th-straight progression from a UCL knockout tie when drawing the first leg away from home as they welcome Newcastle to Camp Nou.
Barcelona have won in each of their previous five Champions League last-16 encounters with English opposition and have suffered defeat in just two of their 37 home games against English sides in UEFA competition.
Despite this, Murphy sent a message to the La Liga side ahead of the clash as he rallied his team to fight until the end against Hansi Flick’s men.
“We are ready to give them a fight; we already showed in the first leg what we are capable of. Everything is still to play for.
Reflecting on the first leg: “We executed the game plan perfectly. We scored a brilliant goal. Tino Livramento did a great job, Joe Willock made a great run, and made a great decision by finding Gordy.
“After the 1-0, the defence from all players was incredible. The four defenders, outstanding. The five midfielders, diligent. And Gordy worked extremely hard.”
The Magpies head into the clash on the back of a win against Chelsea which was their fourth victory in five away matches across all competitions.
Newcastle have lost just two of their 11 games and will be in high hopes when they go head-to-head with Barcelona who may be worried about an upset this week.
