He loves the club, he has brought confidence into the dressing room, spoke to all the players and you can see the response he has got. He deserves full credit, and i can't speak highly enough of him"
says Lamps, he might be trying to secure the manager by removing the tag "interim".He is too smart in not to be aware of what he is saying.
"We're in a Champions league semifinals and we have a great oppurtunity to reach the final.It would be a really big mistake to focus on Real Madrid first,because wednesday's match is very difficult and will go a long way to deciding the tie"

This is gonna be a match to watch for. The stats indicating a much balanced game, but ofcourse the refrees are the ones who balances it. Barcelona,trying to grab a salt win but at the same time there are few teams who have frustrated Pep Guardiola as much as this one.
