Laporta seemed excited ahead of the game and talked about how he and the players felt about this moment. Laporta said, "We have spent many years without reaching the Champions League quarter-finals and are very excited. We must try to get the tie off to a good start. I see the players very motivated and united with Xavi. This makes us believe in them because I see that they believe in their possibilities. Our players are aware of what it would mean for the club to make it to the semi-finals. I'm ready, completely ready. It also motivates me a lot to see players like this. I give it 10/10 for importance. I tell our fans to trust our coach and our players."
