Barcelona head coach Xavi has this weekend made use of the opportunity to send a direct message to the club’s fanbase.
As much comes with a view to Barca’s impending showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.
After putting Cádiz to the sword in La Liga late last night, the Blaugrana will of course now turn their attentions back towards matters on the continent.
After battling their way to a 3-2 triumph in the first leg of the club’s Champions League quarter-final tie with the aforementioned PSG, Xavi and co. are set to welcome the French champions to Catalunya’s capital for the return leg on Tuesday night.
Another pulsating affair is widely predicted, which could well be decided by the finest of margins.
In the knowledge that his side will require every advantage which they can muster to book a spot in the Champions League’s final-4, Xavi, on Saturday night, therefore forwarded a request to all of a Barcelona persuasion set to be in attendance at Montjuïc in two days’ time.
The plea in question? To ‘fill the stadium’, and show their support as best they can:
“Nothing has been decided in the tie. I ask the fans to go to Montjuïc, fill up the stadium, support us, and enjoy the match.”
