Barcelona have made a flying start to the new season with four wins and 17 goals to surge to the top of La Liga.
They turn their attention tonight to the Champions League and a home game with Feyenoord. The Catalans have not won the tournament since 2015 and boss Hansi Flick is determined to change that record.
Flick said: “All the big clubs dream of it, it is the greatest tournament and we have the quality to win it, but we must prove it. And we want to do it.
“The important thing is the team. We must all give everything and give it daily. We have four victories in four games and that is not easy. There are players who may not be happy with their situation and to play you have to prove you deserve it. Our level of play is the same as I see in training. We have to keep it up.”
Feyenoord sit third in the Eredivisie after three wins and two draws from five games. Interestingly, all three victories have come away from De Kuip and boss Giovanni van Bronckhorst will hope that run continues at Camp Nou.
