Barcelona will look for a much better result in the first leg against Paris Saint Germain in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, after suffering a 2-0 defeat to AC Milan in the last-16.
The Spanish giants of course came back with a vengeance in the Cam Nou, pummelling Milan 4-0 in the second leg to setup the PSG clash, but they will be hoping for a smoother progress against the French side.
"It's very important for us to be involved at this stage of the competition, so we're very happy to be here in Paris," Barca assistant coach Jordi Roura told reporters. "They're a great team with great players, such as (Javier) Pastore and (Ezequiel) Lavezzi. We'll have to be at 100 percent if we want to win.
"They are quick on the break and strong in the air, especially with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, but those are just two of their options: they have a lot more tricks in their bag. We'll have to adapt a bit, of course, but we won't change the way we play, although we have studied their game carefully."
Roura confirmed manager Tito Vilanova will be back in the Barca dugout after completing his treatment for cancer in New York.
"Tito Vilanova will be on the bench tomorrow, no doubt: he's the boss and we're delighted to have him back with us."
Xavi Hernandez and Jordi Alba have been passed fit after missing the La Liga game at the weekend, but Adriano and Carles Puyol have not travelled to Paris. PSG will be without midfielder Thiago Motta, who failed to recover from a groin complaint.
"I have a good feeling about this match, just like before the Valencia tie," PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "What we're doing in this competition is very good. It's most probably going to be our hardest match of the season, but probably the most important one too.
"We may not have much ball possession, but it's up to us to exploit the ball well when we do have it. Our tactical approach will not change because of their lineup. Recently, we have defended well, played well on the break and played well when having only some possession."
