"In my head I don't think Barça are a team in another league"

Malaga coach Javi Gracia faced the press ahead of his side's match against Barcelona on Wednesday night.

Barça’s style of play. “The have a different coach and that brings different work, which makes their play different. These are details that have made the team score 11 goals without conceding one. They are a very balanced team that doesn’t let you catch your breath. They are an opponent that holds possession for long periods and doesn’t give you the option of stringing three passes together. They’re a very balanced and strong team.”

Possible line-up. “I don’t like giving away what I’m going to do. All coaches have the capacity for surprise. In these games we have to adjust our work and see whether we can hurt our opponents in attack and to be tight defensively.”

Problems on the left. “At the moment we have Antunes, we’ll see what condition he will be in. We have the possibility of other players who can perform in that position too.”

Absence of Boka. “Last time you asked me my information was that the issues were practically solved, and today I say the same thing. I don’t really know what’s going on and do not know why he is not here. “

Malaga’s 20-man squad: Kameni, Amrabat, Weligton, Antunes, Camacho, Samuel, Santa Cruz, Horta, Ochoa, Recio, Angeleri, Duda, Rosales, Sergio Sánchez, Luis Alberto, Miguel Torres, Juanmi, Juanpi, Samu Castillejo y Sergi Darder.
