"We have to beat Girona. Here we win two or three days of tranquility vouchers. This is Barcelona. Until tomorrow, there is some tranquility, but not too much. This is the Barcelona environment. I know it very well. If we don't win tomorrow, it will be a hecatomb.
"Let's try to enjoy it until tomorrow. Let's try to win it because it will be a difficult match. [Girona coach] Michel has said that they have nothing to lose and we will go out with pressure on us because we want to win LaLiga Santander."
