Barcelona coach Xavi admits they're expected to defeat Eintracht Frankfurt tomorrow night.

Barca host the second-leg of their Europa League quarterfinal with the score locked at 1-1.

On reaching the final, Xavi said, "For the whole group, a step forward to achieve one of the objectives of the season. We wanted to win the Champions League but circumstances have led us to play this one and we are excited.

"Yesterday we watched it from home. It must hurt us not to be in the Champions League and that's what we work for. It would be an important step for the whole group to win tomorrow. Show ourselves that we can compete in Europe.

"But this is Barca. We have the obligation to win and play well. It's not worth it for us to win 1-0 and in the 90th minute. We are Barca. It's about being excellent in everything we do. There is no comparison. Barça is the most difficult and demanding club. We have an obligation to win by playing well. This is the difficult thing in football. That is why this is the most difficult club in the world."
