On Wednesday, the "Roma" team faces a very difficult task.
In the first Champions League quarterfinal match, the "Serie A" team will play against the "Barcelona" club away and will try to contain the Catalan leader Lionel Messi.
The "Roma" team defender Kostas Manolas spoke with fear about the upcoming clash.
"Josep Guardiola is right to say that there is no way to stop L. Messi.
Even if somehow we manage to contain and block him, there will be ten other "Barcelona" players ready to punish us.
There is no doubt - the "La Liga" team would be completely different without Lionel.
We will try to play as best as we can," - said Manolas.
The last time the teams clashed in 2015, the Catalans triumphed with a score of 6:1 and the defender knows what they did wrong then.
"We chose the wrong tactics - we pressed the opponents too "high" and they found a lot of space to attack."
