Barcelona are completely free from any fears ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League match at home to Rubin Kazan.
Pep Guardiola, who allowed himself to rest a few stars, explained how relaxed his was to the media.
“We have no goal against Rubin Kazan because we have already completed our task,” the Barcelona manager told UEFA.com.
“We’ve accomplished our job, we’ve qualified for the Last 16 [of the Champions League] and nobody can take that away from us.
“However, because of our respect for the public, we will try to play good and dynamic football. We will try to create as many chances as we can.”
Barcelona have been in great shape at the Camp Nou this season. Rubin Kazan will create an “upset” if they manage to defeat the Blaugrana tonight.
Such a feat could put the Russians through to the Last 16 of the UEFA Champions League. However, all this will depend on the result between København and Panathinaikos in the night’s other match.
Barcelona top Group D with 11 points. København follow with 7 points, Rubin Kazan are next with 6 points, while Greek side Panathinaikos are 4th with 2 points.
